Record Store Day 2025
If you love vinyl and discovering exclusive releases, then Record Store Day (RSD) is basically Christmas for music lovers! This annual event celebrates independent record stores worldwide, and here in Australia, it’s a massive day for collectors, casual diggers, and audiophiles alike.
What is Record Store Day?
Record Store Day started in 2008 as a way to support independent music retailers and has since grown into a global phenomenon. Every year, on a special Saturday (this year’s date is April 12, 2025), record stores across Australia join in with live music, exclusive vinyl releases, discounts, and special events. Major artists and labels press limited-edition records just for the occasion, making it a must for collectors hunting rare and unique vinyl.
How Can You Get Involved?
- Visit Your Local Record Store aka us – Stores all over Australia, including us, participate in RSD with special stock and in-store events.
