<\/div>\n

The year\u2019s Record Store Day<\/a> has been postponed two months, from April 18th to June 20th, due to coronavirus<\/a> concerns.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIn our discussions over the past few weeks, information came and changed daily, and then hourly, along with the news cycle. We\u2019ve taken all of that information to heart as we\u2019ve gone over the various options that involved staying the course, moving the date, even changing the structure of the event,\u201d organizers said in a statement. <\/span>\u201cAt the risk of stating the obvious, no one knows what things will look like in any given place over the next five weeks, but it is imperative that hard decisions for that time period need to be made right now, using current facts. There is no perfect solution. There is no easy answer. So, we\u2019ve decided that, this year, our best possible move is to change the date of Record Store Day to Saturday, June 20.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The announcement comes after many states imposed a strict order barring large gatherings for an indefinite period as the nation adjusts to the coronavirus pandemic. \u201cWe think that this takes into consideration the recommendations of the many doctors and scientists,\u201d organizers added of the two-month delay.<\/span><\/p>\n

The 2020 Record Store Day features exclusive releases<\/a> from artists like David Bowie, Roger Waters, Britney Spears, U2, Eminem and hundreds more. Brandi Carlile was recruited to serve as ambassador<\/a> for this year\u2019s Record Store Day, a twice-annual celebration of independent record shops.<\/p>\n
