Clints Fest – the first ever music festival curated by Manchester’s own Clints – is making its mark in September at Barton Aerodrome. After five years of building a following in fashion and music, Clints is stepping onto the festival circuit with a day-long celebration of culture, sound and community.
A Festival Five Years in the Making
Rooted in authenticity and powered by a DIY spirit, Clints Festival brings together the brand’s streetwear legacy and deep connection to UK music. Set to welcome 5,000 guests across three stages, Clints Fest will explore genres like rap, grime, RnB, amapiano, afro-fusion and more.
