Record Store Day 2025 has been confirmed.The annual event will return for its 18th edition later this year, with the 2025 event set to take place on April 12.For the upcoming edition, over 270 independent record shops across the UK – as well as thousands more globally – will prepare to welcome a new wave of vinyl releases.

As is the standard, there will also be a series of in-store parties and a celebration of independent record store culture.To celebrate the forthcoming 18th instalment, the organisers of Record Store Day have also announced a new partner for the 2025 edition.

This year will mark the first time that the brand has collaborated with the Cheltenham-based DEYA Brewing Company.The partnership comes through both brands sharing a focus on community and creativity, something RSD says makes them “the perfect partner to celebrate all things indie”.

To mark the two joining forces, a special RSD beer will be available in participating record stores, bottle shops and pubs in April.Returning brands working with RSD include Studio by Miraval and British loudspeaker and headphone company Bowers & Wilkins.
