It's that time of year again. Yes, Record Store Day is back for 2025, and now that it's celebrating its 18th birthday, it's finally free to have a drink to toast its success in shining the spotlight on the humble indie music retailer. The popular annual celebration of vinyl and its purveyors promises another raft of exclusive releases for 2025, though we've not yet had confirmation of the records and artists involved.
What we do know is that the 18th edition of RSD will land on Saturday 12th April this year, although exclusive discounts and events are always happening across the year as part of the initiative's push to keep vinyl going, with over 270 record shops across the UK coming together to celebrate.
