Record Store Day is everywhere and we want to hold our party when everyone can gather around safely to celebrate life, art, music and the culture of the indie record store.” We’re working with all of our partners and our stores to make this change as smooth as possible for everyone who participates in Record Store Day: customers, record stores, artists, labels and more. We think this gives stores around the world the best chance to have a profitable, successful Record Store Day, while taking into consideration the recommendations of doctors, scientists, the World Health Organization, Centers for Disease Control, and the need to be good citizens of both local and worldwide communities.

“We’ve decided that the best of all possible moves is to change the date of Record Store Day this year to Saturday, June 20. Record Store Day organizers had this to say about the decision: Now the organizers of the event have announced that they’re pushing the date back to Saturday, June 20. The international celebration of vinyl records was originally scheduled for April 18 with independent record stores across the globe selling both limited edition vinyl pressings and exclusive releases for one day only. UPDATE (March 14, 2020): Record Store Day 2020 has been delayed due to concerns over the recent spread of the coronavirus throughout North America and Europe.
