Event Merch — Branded Merchandise for Events and Festivals

It’s estimated that festival-goers spend over £1.2 billion on food, clothes and merchandise each summer. Whether your brand is attending a music festival, trade exhibition, sporting event, food fair or corporate conference, custom branded merchandise is one of the most effective ways to build awareness and make a lasting impression.

At Indigo Clothing, we help brands prepare for event season with everything from printed t-shirts and staff workwear to promotional giveaways and gift boxes. Whatever the occasion, we’ll make sure your brand stands out.

Band and Music Merch

Merch is one of the biggest revenue streams for touring artists — and for fans, a band t-shirt is a memento that gets worn for years. We print custom band and music merch for everyone from unsigned local acts to established touring artists, covering tour t-shirts, fan merch, festival crew clothing and limited-edition drops.

For tour and festival runs, screen printing is usually the best choice — it gives bold, hard-wearing prints on dark garments and the keenest per-unit price on larger quantities. For detailed artwork, photographic designs or smaller runs, DTG printing reproduces fine detail with no setup cost. We print on heavyweight tees, hoodies and longsleeves to suit your audience and your margins.

Selling online too? We can set up a branded merch store with pick, pack and fulfilment so you ship to fans without handling stock yourself. Your dedicated account manager will help you choose garments, get your artwork print-ready and hit your tour or release dates — something we’ve been doing for music and events clients for over 20 years.

Frequently Asked Questions

We recommend getting in touch at least 3–4 weeks before your event for standard orders. For larger quantities or custom products, 6–8 weeks is ideal. We can accommodate rush orders where possible — contact us to discuss your timeline.

Is there a minimum order quantity?

Minimums vary by product and printing method. Screen printing typically starts at 25 items, while DTG printing and transfer printing have no minimum. We’ll find the best solution for your budget.

Yes — we can deliver to any UK address including event venues, hotels and exhibition centres. Just provide the delivery details and we’ll arrange it.

What if I need different sizes for staff workwear?

No problem. We can produce mixed size runs across the full range (XS to 5XL on most garments). Send us a size breakdown and we’ll accommodate it.

Absolutely. We offer a growing range of eco-friendly products including organic cotton clothing, recycled promotional items and sustainable packaging options.

Do you print band and tour merch?
