The latest edition to your vinyl collection is almost ready for pickup.
Record Store Day is back for its 17th year on Saturday, April, 20, 2024, when dozens of exclusive new releases and reissues will be available from an array of artists like the Doors , Neil Young , Noah Kahan and Sabrina Carpenter .
The holiday for true music lovers allows record stores across the U.S. to buy and sell a mix of exclusive releases and Record Store Day firsts. Even rarer small run or regional titles will be sold at select shops during the event, meaning fans never truly know what they’ll find that day.
Since 2009, the annual event − typically held on the third Saturday in April − has served as a treat for core vinyl owners and an introduction for newer digital-age music fans. Occasionally, artists make appearances at some of the 1,400 independent record stores across the country.
“This is a day for the people who make up the world of the record store − the staff, the customers, and the artists − to come together and celebrate the unique culture of a record store and the special role they play in their communities,” the official website reads.
