National Album Day is returning to the 90s for this year’s limited edition album releases on Saturday 14th October 2023.
As well as celebrating the 90s, National Album Day will also celebrate the milestone of 75 years of the album format. Presented in association with official audio partner Bowers & Wilkins and official broadcast partner BBC Sounds, National Album Day’s artist ambassadors this year are Gabrielle, Declan McKenna, Tricky and Nuno Bettencourt.
Now in its sixth edition, National Album Day sees the music community come together each year to celebrate and promote the art of the album. This year’s 90s theme will look to shine a light on a profoundly rich decade for music and album making that skipped between Britpop, Dance and Hip Hop; gave us national treasures Take That and global phenomenon the Spice Girls; and saw diverse genres ranging from dance, house and techno to R&B, rap and reggae and to grunge and industrial rock, among many others, rise to reach their full cultural expression – in the UK and globally.
