Now one of the biggest events in the music calendar, shops will host parties, live performances, DJ sets to celebrate the unique culture of record shopping, the art of vinyl and the music-loving people behind the counter serving music to their local communities.

Record Store Day have also announced their official wine partner for the 2024 event, Studio by Miraval. The grounds of Chateau Miraval house a world-class residency studio which has inspired artists of all genres to record some of their most revered albums, including Pink Floyd's The Wall, WHAM!'s Make it Big and Travis Scott's Utopia have all been recorded there.

Record Store Day board member and record shop owner, Louise Jackson of Wax & Beans, said, “Record Store Day is delighted to welcome Miraval on board as official partners of 2024.

"With their incredible music heritage and shared passion for supporting independent record stores, they are the perfect partner to fuel all of the exciting event activity we have planned next year! As an indie record store owner, I love nothing more than putting on a favourite album and sitting back with a glass of wine, so we’re really excited to kick this partnership off”.
