With Record Store Day fast approaching (Saturday April 18), we are in the final stages of finalising this years Diggin’ Melbourne and Diggin’ Sydney record store maps. Both Sydney and Melbourne have again expanded the list of stores – with Melbourne now busting at the seems with 54 stores, and Sydney has broadened their range to include 33 stores from all sides of the city – and even out to Katoomba. There are some exciting new stores for the dedicated!

The Melbourne maps will hit the streets in just a few days – giving you plenty of time to plan your RSD attack! We will once again be collaborating with Beat magazine to present a Record Store Day supplement – listing all the Diggin’ spots plus a full list of Record Store Day activities at all the participating stores. The Beat supplement will be published on Wednesday April 15.

And that’s not all – we are also having a launch party for the 2015 Diggin’ Melbourne map on Thursday April 16 at Belleville in the CBD, with guest DJs and friends. Watch this space for more info. Watch the streets for the new maps – they look like this…
