Record Store Day 2026
What is Record Store Day (RSD)? Special limited-edition vinyl LPs and 45s are released exclusively for this yearly event. Hundreds of artists around the world make special appearances, offer record signings and present live performances or DJ sessions in local independent stores.
Metallica officially started the first Record Store Day at infamous indie store Rasputin in San Francisco on April 19, 2008, and since then it has been traditionally celebrated worldwide on the 3rd Saturday of April. RSD has been officially celebrated in Spain since 2011.
Each year the number of participating stores and attendees grows, reflecting the increasing popularity of vinyl in the market as well as the continued passion for vinyl by music fans and record collectors around the globe. It is a celebration of vinyl culture, starring the independent record stores and artists of various musical styles.
