Record Store Day 2026: Full List

The wait is over for vinyl enthusiasts as the full slate for Record Store Day 2026 has finally been unveiled. This year’s lineup is a powerhouse of one-off specials and high-demand reissues from heavyweights like Blur, David Bowie, and The Cure, alongside modern favourites like Charli XCX and Paramore.

Returning on Saturday, April 18, the 19th instalment of RSD arrives as a global celebration of independent record shop culture. In the UK and Ireland alone, over 300 shops will participate, joining thousands of indie retailers worldwide. Fans are expected to queue early for the chance to snag exclusive physical releases, which remain strictly first-come, first-served, and to enjoy one-day-only in-store events.

The 2026 list features a significant charitable edge, with several high-profile artists dropping records to benefit RSD’s official partner, War Child. Key contributors to this initiative include:

• The Cure and Fleetwood Mac
• Primal Scream and Bring Me The Horizon & Sigrid
• The Snuts, Nilüfer Yanya, and Divorce
• James Dean Bradfield and Nicky Wire of the Manic Street Preachers

The broader list is equally impressive, featuring a diverse range of talent including CMAT, Gigi Perez, Air, HAIM, Olivia Dean, Self Esteem, Sleep Token, The Last Dinner Party, and Wolf Alice.
