When do the 2025 Black Friday music deals start?

This year's Black Friday will take place on Friday, November 28, and although the majority of deals will take place over the Black Friday weekend, as you can see above, the cut-price vinyl deals have already started to arrive. That said, the closer we get to Black Friday, more vinyl deals will start to properly filter through.

I'm keeping my eyes open for all the best bargains in rock, metal, prog, punk and alternative and posting them right here as soon as I see them.

What Black Friday vinyl deals can I expect to see in 2025?

Since 2019, I've seen a bunch of excellent Black Friday vinyl deals on everything from limited-edition box sets, picture discs and reissues, and this year will be no different.

Online retailers including Amazon, Walmart, BestBuy, Townsend Music and EMP always slash prices and there are a few releases I'd love to see available for a reduced price - specifically the Metallica studio albums on a variety of coloured vinyl. They were once a Walmart exclusive but have now reached the global market, but collecting them all is a pricey proposition.

All eyes on the online retailers this Black Friday to see if they come down in price - and with Garage Inc down in price at the time of writing, hopes are high.

Last year, we saw some stellar Black Friday vinyl deals from artists including Iron Maiden, Ozzy Osbourne, Rush, Slipknot, Tool, Def Leppard and Motley Crue - and I'll be keeping you updated on all the biggest and best Black Friday vinyl deals.

Shopping tips

With the main Black Friday vinyl deals set to drop in the coming weeks, it's going to be easy to miss something special if you don't do a bit of planning in advance. So to help, here are some of the tips I've picked up over the last six years of covering the Black Friday sales.

1. Make a list: Making a list of vinyl records you're hoping to see reduced in price on Black Friday is key in helping you grab a great deal as it's easy to become sidetracked once the deals begin to flood in. I write down a list of stuff I want on my phone and, if an online retailer has a wishlist feature, I use that too. Doing the latter will let you see at a glance how much of a saving you're making.

2. Decide your budget: No matter if you're after an old favourite, a remastered classic, a limited-edition picture disc or a massive 20-disc vinyl box set, setting your budget in advance will help you to not overspend. If you can squirrel away a bit of money before November, that's going to help too. I put some cash aside for the Black Friday sales - not a lot, but even a couple of pounds or dollars could help secure you a great deal. It's helped me in the past, when I bought a new pair of Sony headphones.

3. Shop around: Before covering the Black Friday sales in 2019, I just assumed that all discounts - if any - would be the same across the board. That's just not the case, as each online retailer vies for your hard-earned cash. So before plonking your money down, take a moment to check out the competition to see how much of a discount they're offering and if you can grab yourself a much better deal. Some will not only offer a better price, but they'll also sometimes throw in a freebie or two; ie 3 months of Apple Music or extra free time on a TV and film streaming service.

Keep this page, along with Louder's Black Friday music deals page, bookmarked because myself and the Louder team are covering all the best sales around and giving you all the information you'll need to help you make an informed decision.

How we choose products

I'm always on the lookout for vinyl reissues or generously jam-packed box sets and the Louder editorial team regularly report on the latest editions to hit the market.

Myself and the whole team have an eclectic taste in music: everything from rock, metal and prog, through to alternative, goth, synthwave and jazz - and we all want to see vinyl available at a good price and not over-inflated for what you actually get for your money.

I'm bringing you the Black Friday vinyl deals that not only appeal to myself, but to the wider Louder team too to give you the best options.

Why you can trust our picks

This year will be my seventh covering Black Friday, but in that span, I've also been involved with other events such as Amazon Prime Day, Amazon's Prime Big Deal Days, Presidents' Day and covered the Memorial Day sales.

However, for even longer, myself and the Louder team have been writing about the number one thing we love: music and we've generated more than 15,000 reviews on everything from new albums, to headphones, speakers, turntables, earplugs and more

I hear the feedback and know the artists you listen to most, so when it comes to recommending a new slice of vinyl or a special edition box set, I'm pretty confident I'm highlighting something you'll find enjoyable... and for a great price.

Last year's highlights

Last year's Black Friday saw some brilliant savings for vinyl fans, with most of the major retailers getting involved in the action. Here are some of Black Friday vinyl deals from last year.

US

Walmart vinyl sale
Like most retailers, Walmart jumped aboard the Black Friday bandwagon nice and early last year and offered loads of cool stuff at a bargain price. I was particularly excited about their vinyl record sale, in which dozens of great albums had their prices slashed. How much you saved depended on which records you buy, but I saw reductions ranging from $4.97 to $15.99.

This massive 36 LP collection features all Queen’s studio albums, with each record pressed on 180g coloured vinyl. It’s a must-have for Queen vinyl fans and Amazon have 16% off the list price last year. Fingers crossed we see something similar this Black Friday.
