Get ready to celebrate Record Store Day. Find your nearest record store, where you can get exclusive access to new vinyl releases, event locations, and more.
Join us in-store and outside Rough Trade West for another day championing a rich and diverse collection of releases and celebrating the continued importance of independent record stores! This is a free-entry event. Tickets do not guarantee entry if the store is at full capacity. The store opens at 8am, and live acts outside the front of the shop from 11am including, This Is The Kit, Celeste, Scrounge, Buzzard Buzzard Buzzard, and more. RSD 2024 Shopping Guidelines Please note ahead of the day... As usual, one copy per person, only. For fairness' sake, we have to prohibit multiple buys of the same release. Strictly first come, first served - no customer reservations. We will be providing a ‘personal shopping service’ for Record Store Day releases (as store access will be limited). So, please have your wish list ready prior to entering the store, and Rough Trade staff will look to obtain your selections for you. To help us manage the safe capacity of the store, we kindly ask that you are prompt with your custom, helping us ensure everyone receives service, as fast as possible. As it will be a busy day with unprecedented requirements, we kindly ask that you are patient and courteous to all our staff members.
