Record Store Day 2026

Record Store Day continues to be a vital celebration of independent music retailers and the enduring popularity of the vinyl format.

This year's event includes high-profile events at Rockefeller Center and rare releases from iconic figures like John Lennon and Joni Mitchell.

Industry data shows that vinyl sales are continuing to boom, driven by both nostalgia and a desire for physical media in a digital age.

Fans are expected to line up early at shops across the country to snag limited-edition pressings that often become instant collector's items.
