Prepare your turntables and clear your schedules because Record Store Day Australia is back!
Following the success of last year’s event, where Aussie vinyl aficionados scrambled to get their hands on exclusive releases from Peking Duk, Ball Park Music, and more, this years Record Store Day promises to be even bigger.
Set for Saturday, April 20th, Record Store Day 2024 is gearing up to celebrate the best of Aussie music with a lineup that reads like a who’s who of homegrown talent.
From beloved icons like Dorothy the Dinosaur and The Wiggles to the new kids leading the pack, The Terrys, Montaigne, and Tasman Keith, the roster is busting at the gut with talent.
But that’s not all! A special double LP compilation titled “Time Capsule: Australian Sounds 1985-1994” features the likes of Died Pretty, GOD, Magic Dirt, and more, offering a nostalgic journey through Australia’s musical history.
And if that wasn’t enough to get your vinyl-loving heart racing, the official Record Store Day releases include exclusives from global sensations like Kate Bush, Olivia Rodrigo, and Paramore, ensuring there’s something for everyone.
For artists like Montaigne, Record Store Day isn’t just about releasing music; it’s about supporting independent retailers and giving fans the chance to own a piece of their musical journey. “I’m so excited to finally release Glorious Heights on vinyl after years of demand,” says Montaigne. “I’m also stoked that I could do it in partnership with Record Store Day and support independent retailers of music as I embark on my own journey of independence.”
Record Store Day has been a cornerstone event for independent record stores worldwide for over 15 years, celebrating the passion and dedication of those who keep the music spinning.
With in-store performances, exclusive releases, and plenty of crate digging, it’s a day not to be missed for music lovers everywhere.
So mark your calendars, make your wishlist, and get ready to support your local indie record store this Record Store Day!
