Record Store Day Latest Super Star Ambassador
Get ready for an extra special Record Store Day with an extra special Record Store Day 2025 ambassador.
In the past, Record Store Day ambassadors have been huge names. Those who have taken on the role in the past include Taylor Swift, Dave Grohl, Pearl Jam, Paramore, Metallica, and Ozzy Osbourne.
Now there’s another big name who’s agreed to be the one who helps spread the word and encourage all of us vinyl enthusiasts to shop local. Post Malone is the man who will remind and motivate shoppers to hit up their independent record stores during the next Record Store Day on Saturday, April 12, 2025.
Post said in a statement how excited he is to get the gig, “What an honor. Record Store Day is so important, and I really hope to do my part to keep it alive.”
He shared, “We love hitting local shops when we’re on the road, seeing all the crazy artwork, the whole energy in a record store is just super inspiring. I feel at home. It’s really an unexplainable feeling to hit up a shop and dig through crates, just see what grabs your eye. You can be looking for something super specific and end up finding something totally different. It’s the best.”
I agree, it is a great feeling when you make that awesome find that you don’t expect. It’s not just something that happens on Record Store Day, it’s possible every time I’ve visited a record store throughout my life. If you haven’t experienced it, it’s hard to know how exciting that feeling is.
Post also encouraged fans by saying, “Keep supporting y’all, and let’s keep records and these local shops going strong. Happy Record Store Day everybody!”
He’s been putting out special Record Store Day vinyl releases for close to a decade and that includes last year’s exclusive version of his album F-1 Trillion.
I love the excitement of getting there early, and at least at my town’s little record shop, getting a number, waiting in line, and anticipating my turn to go in and shop. It has a huge selection, but it’s very small so they limit to how many people can be in the store simultaneously.
