WMG REVIVES RECORD STORE CRAWL

Warner Music Group is reviving its Record Store Crawl for the first time since 2019, planning to hit seven cities from May to October.

Presented by turntable brand Audio-Technica, the crawl begins 5/18 in New York City, stops in Nashville on 8/10 and wraps 10/19 in L.A. The location of one of the crawls will be determined through a national vote.

Kicking off at Tower Records’ Brooklyn outpost, Tower Labs, the New York City Crawl will feature stops at Generation Records, Rough Trade and Crawlers, plus Audio-Technica’s turntable store coming soon to SoHo.

Attendees will enjoy exclusive performances, special-edition vinyl releases and giveaways aboard the Record Store Crawl bus. Record Store Crawl-exclusive LPs will be available at independent record stores nationwide and on the Record Store Crawl's website.

This year’s Record Store Crawl is unfolding in collaboration with the youth-oriented voter-registration nonprofit HeadCount. Crate-diggers can secure spots on the crawls here.
