THREE DAYS.
ONE UNFORGETTABLE LINEUP.

A vintage-inspired raglan built around the weekend when new wave, heavy metal and rock all took over the same California stage.

THE STORY

Remember when a festival lineup looked like this?

Memorial Day weekend, 1983. The US Festival returned to Southern California for three massive days of music — each day with a sound of its own.

The Clash and INXS on Saturday. Ozzy, Judas Priest and Van Halen on Sunday. Bowie, Stevie Nicks and U2 on Monday. Read the back of this shirt and it feels less like a graphic and more like an old concert poster you somehow kept all these years.

If you remember ’83,
you don’t need the explanation.

Some shirts are about the graphic.
This one is about the names on the back.
