Record Store Day 2025

Let’s be real: every year, on the third Saturday of April, something special happens—something far from algorithms, subscriptions, or compressed audio. It’s Record Store Day, the big celebration of independent record shops. A global tribute to those vinyl temples that keep spinning, no matter the storm or the streaming.

A little backstory (don’t worry, only the good kind)

The idea started in 2007 in the U.S. as a love letter (and a resistance move) to classic record stores. It was launched by a bunch of music-obsessed people and physical format fans like Chris Brown, Eric Levin, Michael Kurtz, and others.

One year later, Metallica kicked off the first official Record Store Day with a performance at the legendary Rasputin Records in San Francisco. That’s how a tradition began—one that’s only gotten bigger every year since.

In Spain, Record Store Day has been celebrated since 2011, with each edition bringing more shops, more people, more exclusive releases, and—most importantly—more love for vinyl.

So, what happens on Record Store Day?

It’s not just about selling records—it’s about celebrating music as an experience.

Many shops host DJ sessions, live shows, special presentations, and even exclusive vinyl editions you can only get that day. It’s the perfect excuse to step into a record store again, chat with the owner, discover something new, or just get lost digging through crates (as it should be).

Who gets to join?

Only brick-and-mortar shops. For real. No big chains, no online giants, no platforms with robots recommending stuff you didn’t ask for.

Participating stores must dedicate at least 50% of their offerings to music and be fully independent.

Why are we telling you this?

Because if you’re reading this, chances are you're one of those people who still gets a thrill from dropping the needle on a vinyl.

And this weekend, that feeling is worth celebrating.

You don’t have to buy anything. Just remember there’s another way to listen to music—with time, with attention, with soul.
