Mark your calendars! Record Store Day (RSD) returns for its 18th edition on Saturday 12th April 2025.

More than 270 independent record shops across the UK will gear up for a huge celebration of vinyl releases, in-store parties and independent record store culture.

Now in its 18th year, RSD brings together artists, labels, and record stores across the country to celebrate the unique culture of independent shops and the enduring art of vinyl.

Fans can expect a stacked list of collectible and limited-edition records from some of the biggest and most exciting names in music.

Hundreds of artists have come together to celebrate the UK’s independent record shops, which are at the heart of local communities nationwide.

With special releases spanning rock, pop, soul, jazz, hip-hop, reggae, classical, and folk music fans of all tastes and genres will find something to enjoy at their local record store this April. Here are some of our favourite stores from Kent and East Sussex taking part - we know you’ll travel far and wide to get the vinyl you want!

Three of our ‘cene Magazine stockists are taking part Saturnalia in Faversham, The Record Store in Ashford and Tough Love in St Leonards.

But even if your local store isn’t taking part, please give them some love and pop in for a visit anyway.
