RECORD STORE DAY BLACK FRIDAY 2026
Record Store Day Black Friday takes place on Friday, November 27th, 2026, and is an annual celebration of independent record stores, the artists we love, and the music communities that bring us together. It's a chance to get your hands on exclusive, limited-edition releases while supporting the independent shops that keep music culture alive.
At Dead Dog Records, RSD is one of our favourite days of the year, and we're excited to celebrate another one with our amazing music community. Thanks for showing up, shopping small, and keeping independent record stores alive!
HERE ARE SOME TIPS & REMINDERS BEFORE YOU JOIN US...
WHERE & WHEN: This is an in-store event taking place Friday, November 27th, with doors opening at 8:00AM sharp, exclusively at our Bloor location (1277 Bloor St West).
ONE PER TITLE: There is a limit of ONE copy per title per customer.
NO HOLDS OR PRE-SALES: All RSD Black Friday releases are first come, first served. We cannot accept holds, pre-orders, or requests to set aside titles ahead of time.
CHECK STOCK BEFORE YOU COME: By Thursday evening, we'll have updated our website with the quantities available for each title. We highly recommend checking ahead so you have a better idea of what's in stock before making the trip!
If there's a title you're hoping to get your hands on, add it to your website wish-list! You'll receive an email notification when the title arrives and is added to our inventory. It's a great way to keep track of your mostwanted releases ahead of RSD!
WHEN SHOULD YOU ARRIVE: That's entirely up to you! Whether you're an early bird or prefer to roll in a little later, you're welcome to join us. Just remember that popular titles can move quickly, and everything is first come, first served. Arriving early does not guarantee you'll get every release on your radar.
DRESS FOR THE WEATHER: Please dress weather appropriate! This is a rain, snow, or shine event, y'all!
ONLINE SALES: Any remaining RSD Black Friday titles will become available online starting Saturday, November 28th at approximately 8:00AM EST at deaddogrecords.com. Please note that in-store customers will have first access on Friday, and online quantities will reflect whatever remains after the event.
Most importantly, be kind to your fellow music lovers, our staff, and everyone sharing the sidewalk. We're all here for the same reason: a love of music and independent record stores!
Thanks for celebrating with us and supporting your friendly neighbourhood record store. We can't wait to see you bright and early Friday!
