FREE FILM: Empire Records at the Bardavon on Rex Manning Day
Bardavon Presents in collaboration with Darkside Records:
Empire Records (1995) > Free Film
7:00 PM Doors & Preshow Trivia!
MPA RATING: PG-13
Empire Records is a cult-classic comedy about a chaotic, independent record store fighting against being absorbed by a corporate chain. Centered on one hectic day in the lives of its colorful staff, the film blends ’90s alternative music, youthful rebellion, and sharp humor while exploring themes of friendship, self-discovery, and the importance of not “selling out.”
ALL TICKETS ARE FREE - AVAILABLE AT THE DOOR!
Doors open 30 minutes prior.
Rex Manning Day, celebrated by fans every April 8, has become a real-world tribute to Empire Records and everything it stands for: independent music, record store culture, and not selling out. What started as a fictional promo day in the film is now an annual inside joke and celebration, with fans revisiting the movie, blasting the soundtrack, and showing love to their favorite local record stores. “Say no more, mon amour.”
Record Store Day 2026
Join us Saturday, April 18th for Record Store Day 2026!
As always, we'll be stocked up on the full list of RSD releases ready for that hungry turntable at home, plus other fun happenings throughout the store. Stay tuned for more details and announcements as we get closer to the big day.

Meet the creator of Iron Maiden's Eddie!
Join us on Tuesday, September 1st for a special meet & greet + signing with the legendary Derek Riggs!
Derek Riggs is the visionary British artist behind Eddie, the legendary mascot of Iron Maiden. A defining force in heavy metal’s visual identity, Riggs created the band’s first album cover in 1980 and went on to design many of their most iconic artworks, including Killers, The Number of the Beast, Piece of Mind, Powerslave, and Somewhere in Time. His vivid, dystopian style and meticulous hand-painted detail helped shape the look of 1980s metal culture, making Eddie one of the most recognizable figures in music history. Riggs’ work extends beyond Iron Maiden, but his collaboration with the band remains one of the most celebrated artist-band partnerships of all time.
Event time: 2pm - 8pm
