The Charlatans frontman Tim Burgess has been announced as an ambassador for Love Record Stores Day, June 20, an 'annual opportunity to highlight the work of record stores', moving online this year in light of the coronavirus pandemic.

Burgess, known for being a passionate advocate of independent record stores, will curate a 24 hour online party, featuring exclusive 'at home' performances from various artists, DJ sets and more. He commented 'The idea of what we would do without physical record shops has been a question we’ve asked in the past, but now it’s looking more possible than ever and we need to do whatever we can to help.... they’ve been good to us, let’s do what we can'.
