Coming to Singapore for F1? Don't Leave Without Going Record Shopping
Singapore's Formula 1 weekend is about much more than racing.
For three days, the city comes alive with concerts, nightlife, restaurants, pop-ups, parties and events stretching across Marina Bay, City Hall, Kampong Gelam, Orchard, Clarke Quay and beyond.
But if you're travelling to Singapore for the Formula 1 Singapore Airlines Singapore Grand Prix and you're also a vinyl collector, there's another side of the city worth exploring.
Singapore has a surprisingly vibrant record scene, with independent record stores, specialist collectors, second-hand dealers, listening spaces and music shops spread across the island.
So if you're looking for something to do between F1 sessions — or simply want to bring home a piece of Singapore's music culture — here's our guide to where to shop for vinyl records during F1 weekend in Singapore.
1. Tiger Vault Records
With album campaigns happening all year round, you’ll be in for a treat every time you set foot in the store. Tiger Vault Records specialises in making your music journey an unforgettable one, with campaigns happening around album releases, keeping it fresh for all.
The store specialises heavily in pop culture, with physical media being of utmost importance. You can find Vinyl Records, CDs, and cassettes with a catalogue spanning contemporary pop, K-pop, indie, alternative, soundtracks, and classic albums.
What sets Tiger Vault Records apart is that they carry different variants of the album for the community. From store-exclusive pressings to indie exclusives, and even autographed copies! Making it particularly relevant for collectors who are looking for more than the standard black vinyl.

2. Roxy Records & Trading
If you’re interested in the history of Singapore’s independent record-store culture, Roxy Records & Trading is one of the names worth knowing.
Roxy has been associated with physical music retail in Singapore since 1962, and its Excelsior location carries new and used vinyl alongside CDs.
The store is particularly interesting for collectors searching for older and harder-to-find records, including vintage Singapore and Southeast Asian releases.
Roxy also accepts enquiries from customers searching for specific albums and pressings, including requests for Vinyl, CDs, and cassettes.

3. Vinyl Kakis
Here at Vinyl Kakis, you can find new and used vinyl, CDs, and cassettes, with a selection that can include retro pop, metal, experimental music, and other less-mainstream styles.
The store has also developed a reputation for Japanese music, including Japanese pop and other titles that can be particularly interesting for collectors searching beyond mainstream Western releases.

4. Roxy Disc House
Not to be confused with Roxy Records & Trading, Roxy Disc House is located at The Adelphi, another building with a long connection to Singapore's music and audio community.
Roxy Disc House is located on Level 3 and offers records alongside CDs.
You can find plenty of Mandarin vinyl records over here at Roxy Disc House since that is their speciality!

If you're heading towards Kampong Glam, Arab Street or Haji Lane, Curated Records makes a natural addition to the itinerary.
The surrounding neighbourhood is already one of Singapore's most popular areas for cafés, independent shops, street art and nightlife.
That makes it a great place to combine record hunting with exploring Singapore beyond the F1 circuit.

If you're planning to explore Kampong Glam during F1 weekend, add a record stop to the itinerary.
You can spend the afternoon digging through records before moving on to the cafés, bars and restaurants around Haji Lane and Arab Street.

A Note for International Record Collectors
If you're flying home with vinyl, remember to leave some room in your luggage.
Better yet, bring a proper record sleeve or protective mailer if you're planning to buy multiple LPs.
And if you're buying valuable or collectible records, ask the shop about protective packaging for your journey home.
