Clints Fest lands in Manchester on Saturday 6th September, capping five years of streetwear-driven momentum from the label that began as Junior Clint’s self-taught sneaker venture from his bedroom in Moston. This debut festival is the next evolution for Clints, the brand that’s made its name on handcrafted footwear, bold graphics and a fiercely DIY approach to fashion and events.
If you’ve visited the Quay Street concept store, you’ll know Clints isn’t just about shopping—it’s a hub for music and culture. Clints present their very own festival at Barton Aerodrome this September, headlined by the mighty Mike Skinner alongside K-Trap, with Chip, Children of Zeus, Skeete and loads more on the bill. Beyond the live performances, Clints Fest will give a taste of the brand’s DNA.
Clints has hosted an official Boiler Room stage, and welcomed the likes of Burna Boy, Nines, Brent Faiyaz and Chip through its doors. D Double E headlined the Boiler Room set and, in true community spirit, joined Mak10 for a livestream outside the shop where local MCs jumped on the mic.
Junior Clint, the self-taught designer whose handmade soles launched a Manchester-fashion phenomenon, says: “We’ve built Clints on the back of our supporters embracing the DIY spirit. This festival is the ultimate expression of that ethos.” From Moston to Manchester’s ABC Building, he’s been empowering local creatives every step of the way – now he’s crafting a weekend you won’t forget.
