A vintage-inspired raglan built around one of the wildest American festival bills of the early ’80s — bold artwork in front, a history lesson on the back.

The story behind the shirt
A festival built to feel like the future.
The 1983 US Festival brought new wave, heavy metal, rock, country music and emerging technology together in Southern California.
Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak backed the event near San Bernardino, California. The main festival ran May 28–30, 1983, with a separate Country Day on June 4.
The bill reads like an ’80s time capsule: The Clash, Van Halen, Ozzy Osbourne, U2, Stevie Nicks, David Bowie and many more. Guinness World Records lists total attendance at 670,000 across the four festival days.

Front + back storytelling
Like wearing a concert poster.
The oversized front artwork brings the festival energy first. Turn around and the back becomes the archive — dates, names and the lineup that made US ’83 legendary.
