Not only that but the whole event is family friendly, here's the spiel:
The countdown is on for Record Store Day 2013 at Tower Records! This coming Saturday, April 20th, hundreds will queue outside Tower Records, Wicklow Street and Easons, O’Connell Street, vying to be amongst the first to scramble through the doors at 9am. Their mission: to nab the much sought after limited edition exclusive Record Store Day releases from many of the world’s biggest artists, from Bowie to Bush, Dylan to Hendrix, Cave to Drake to Gza to Zappa and hundreds in between! What releases will be available for music zealots to purchase is pretty much anyone’s guess. Tower Records put in the orders for copies of all Record Store Day releases and then the wait commences. Big brown boxes arrive, their skins are peeled back and their Record Store Day crgo is revealed. A little of this, a lot of that, hardly any of one, none of another.
A worldwide occasion to celebrate the independent record store, Record Store Day 2013 at Tower Records Dublin will feature a myriad of fun stuff – free Captain Americanos coffee courtesy of Captain Americas from 6.30am for all the freezing souls queuing on Wicklow Street; the ultimate rock’n’roll breakfast from 9am in Tower Soundbites Café, followed by delicious coffees, cakes and lunches all day long and acoustic sets from Owensie and The Twilight Sad; legendary Bray goodie purveyors Teddy’s will be doling out the creamy ices from around 11am ‘til the afternoon compliments of Tower; cool Tower Record balloons for the kids, to go with their epic first album purchases and a number of special items to purchase such as signed albums, posters and artwork from a variety of acts including Phoenix, Biffy Clyro, Lewis Watson and more.
Tower Live on Record Store Day will take place at Madison Nightclub just beside the shop on Wicklow Street. The schedule has now been confirmed and will run approximately as follows. Doors open at 12.30pm. All the concerts are free but admission is by wristband only. Wristbands can be collected from the stall in the front window of the Wicklow Street store from 9am on Saturday morning. Young people are very welcome up until 6pm. All under 18’s must leave Madison at 6pm. Please note that Under 12’s must be accompanied by an adult. ID will be required for Over 18’s wristbands!
