Record Store Day has found its 2025 ambassador. The annual event has tapped Post Malone to helm this year’s festivities.
Set to take place on April 12, Record Store Day celebrates physical media and independently-owned record stores.
“What an honor, I can’t believe I was chosen to be Record Store Day’s Ambassador for 2025,” Post said in a statement. “Record Store Day is so important and I really hope to do my part to keep it alive.”

“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,” he continued. “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.”
Post concluded, “Keep supporting y’all and let’s keep records and these local shops going strong. Happy Record Store Day everybody!”
Carrie Colliton, the co-founder of Record Store Day, said she is thrilled to welcome the musician aboard.
“I’m very excited about Ambassador ‘Posty,’” she told Billboard in a statement. “Musically, he’s all over the place—just like record stores and their customers, especially some of the newest, youngest people to embrace their local brick-and-mortar spaces.”
The festivities for this year’s event have yet to be announced. However, past ambassadors—a group that includes Jack White, Brandi Carlile, and Paramore—have put out a limited edition release in honor of the occasion.
