Super-cool special events. And, the crown jewel is UKR40 Anniversary Bash, a series of shows in September that will feature a slew of top-shelf bands of various genres. Yes, this year, we're going all out to bring the party to the people.

USED KIDS RECORDS
Established in 1986 in Columbus, Ohio, and 100% independently operated, Used Kids Records is a bona fide Midwest institution and a cultural beacon for music lovers of all ages and tastes. UKR offers the deepest selection of new and used vinyl, CDs and cassettes in Central Ohio. Our shop is the place to dig for days, hang out with friends and discover something new or pick up an old favorite. You can also catch a great-sounding live show from our in-house stage. From the Supersuckers, Yo La Tengo, and the Black Keys to Joe Walsh and Nancy Wilson (Heart), our shop has hosted hundreds of musicians over the years. We’ve also booked a bevy of acts throughout Columbus’ clubs. Recents have included Nashville Pussy, Des Demonas, the Darts, Cardiel, Service, and more.
USED KIDS RECORDS CHARITABLE ENDEAVORS
Over the years, we’ve created many opportunities to raise thousands of dollars for the Mid-Ohio Food Collective. Our main annual event is the punk-rock Xmas throwdown, Figgy Fest. We also love to support local and touring artists' charity causes, such as raising thousands of dollars for VetsAid with Joe Walsh and City of Hope with the Supersuckers.

WHAT'S HAPPENING AT USED KIDS RECORDS?
We're always adding exclusive listening parties, in-house concerts, and music-related happenings to our robust events calendar. The events are free, all ages affairs, including or monthly First Fridays showcase, which features Central Ohio acts.
