Are you ready to immerse yourself in a day of music celebration? We hope so, as Record Store Day returns to Bristol’s Rough Trade tomorrow!

On Saturday, April 20, Rough Trade Bristol will open its doors for this highly anticipated event, inviting music lovers of all ages to join in the festivities. The best part? Entry is completely FREE! This year's Record Store Day promises to be bigger and better than ever, featuring an eclectic lineup of Bristol's most exciting acts. From atmospheric post-punk to dream pop, heartfelt punk to surreal synth, there's something for everyone to enjoy.

Kicking off the live sets at 2 PM is Slunk, delivering strange post-punk vibes that will set the stage for Zach Templar at 3PM, a viral sensation known for his hit single 'missin something', which has amassed over 67.9 million listens on Spotify.

 

 

As the day unfolds, you can expect to be serenaded by indie pop bangers from Milkie at 4 PM, enchanted by Emily Magpie's unique electronica soundscapes at 5 PM, and taken on an edgy and emotional journey through 2000s nostalgia with Ziggy 2000 at 6 PM. The music continues with MP3 Chainsaw bringing their eclectic blend of shoegaze, synth pop, and hardcore noise at 7 PM, before multi-instrumentalist Lawi Anywar closes out the event with his diverse musical tastes at 8 PM.

Record Store Day is a celebration of independent record stores and the vibrant culture they represent. It's a day when over 270 stores across the UK unite to offer exclusive vinyl releases and special live music events, making it a must-attend occasion for music enthusiasts everywhere.

 

 

You won't get another chance to celebrate Record Store Day for another year, so make the most of it and head down to Rough Trade tomorrow! Tickets are free, but you might want to snag one ahead of time, so get it from the Rough Trade website.
