Strangest gig merchandise?

I love a band t-shirt so always go and check out what's on offer. Usual suspects - t-shirts, hoodies, badges, maybe a cap or tote bag.
I won't name the band or venue but this week I came across socks! Who buys socks at a gig?!

Any other weird merch that you have come across?

I'm sure I've seen a tea towel somewhere?
Manic street preachers sell mugs.

Know your slightly older audience...

I’ve never spotted a mug at a manics gig but now I want one

RJnomore1 · 22/06/2019 08:17

I’m pretty sure I’ve seen coasters as well

Tambourine at the Prince concerts was a weird one. £60 as well.

Also at Gwen Stefani's solo tour she sold necklaces and dolls. I bought both Blush

Another tea towel, from Public Service Broadcasting. I thought it was probably an indication of the demographic they appeal to. I bought one!

PAH haha I thought a bubble gun was mad but that’s nothing compared to some of these.

I've bought socks at a gig! Franz Ferdinand about 5 years ago. I love a good pair of socks Grin

RezCowgirl · 22/06/2019 09:16

Tea bags at Mr Scruff

BearSoFair · 22/06/2019 09:17

Also OP I love your Frank Turner inspired name! He had hot pants on sale at shows years ago...that was odd but that were very popular apparently Grin I don't have a pair, I must add!

TheFatberg · 22/06/2019 09:17

There was a band called Vex Red in the early 00s. Not particularly big, but I definitely bought a Vex Red thong from one of their gigs. IWBVU for wearing a thong.

Haworthia · 22/06/2019 09:18

The Manics have been doing mugs for decades. I bought one in the late 90s Grin
