VIA PRESS RELEASE | Today, Record Store Day organizers announce that the fourteenth annual celebration of the culture of the independent record store is planned for June 12, 2021.
Normally held on a Saturday in April, the world’s largest single-day music event transformed into RSD Drops in 2020, three socially-distanced days in August, September, and October, giving stores the time and opportunity to regroup and rethink their retail methods and protocols in the midst of the pandemic. The RSD Black Friday event held this past Friday, capped off four months of successful release days and events designed to shine a spotlight on independent record stores and the role they play in their communities.
More information on Record Store Day and status updates on individual store hours and procedures can be found on recordstoreday.com. More information on Record Store Day 2021 will be coming at a later date.
