Clearing the decks for an unforgettable 2026
Weekend Roundup: Clearing the decks for an unforgettable year.
We’re kicking off 2026 with eyes firmly on the long game. One big celebration of 50 years of Rough Trade — from a single record shop to a global community, always grounded in the same thing: music, people and the spaces that bring them together.
A 50th anniversary collection is on the way, new releases are landing thick and fast, and there’s plenty worth making room for. Add in a stack of sale records, a couple of new discoveries and you’ve got the weekend lined up nicely.
