METRO DETROIT — Get ready to crank the volume on your turntables: Record Store Day 2025 is coming up April 12.
Record Store Day, held internationally, was launched in 2007 and gives employees and customers their own day to gather and celebrate the culture of the indie record store.
It is also a time when artists release new music or re-release albums and CDs that previously weren’t available or might have been out of print. Some bands releasing material are still active on the music scene, while others have disbanded but still release music on Record Store Day. This year’s Record Store Day ambassador is multiple platinum recording artist Post Malone.
