Read our privacy notice . Forget wearing your heart on your sleeve. If you worship a certain band or a musician, there’s no better way to shout your love for them than through a licenced tee.
Whether you’re off to a gig or just lounging around on the weekend, a band t-shirt tells the world unashamedly that you’re a die-hard fan, someone who will happily showcase their dedication and passion to their No. 1 artist on their chest. You’ll know every lyric to every song - even the B-sides.
You won’t mistake Metallica for simply a font, rather than one of the greatest heavy metal acts in history, as one viral shopping video did in 2017 . You’re better than that. From pop to R&B, country to indie and everything in between, merch is the fuel that propels the band’s fame machine, so if you like the artist, buying a tee with their face on is a way of supporting them.
That said, there are plenty of licenced collections out there, with Topshop, New Look and H&M leading the charge on the high street for cool music tees that can be paired with pretty much anything in your wardrobe. Whether you’re headed to a summer festival , heading to a gig or you’re crossing international borders just to see your favourite singer.
