Dr. Martens kicked off labour day weekend in Seattle at Bumpershoot, a music and arts festival packed with talented acts; the likes of Macklemore, Death Cab for Cutie, and Tyler the Creator graced the stage. The weekend began with a pre-festival party at our Dr. Martens Seattle store, where we had performances from local band Cosmos ahead of their Bumpershoot performance.

We also popped up at Riot Fest, Chicago, Illinois. Over three days, it offered a mix of punk, rock and alternative music from some of the biggest names. With headliners including The Original Misfits, Morrisey and Flaming Lips as well as performances form the likes of Wu-Tang Clan, The Descendants and more, the festival was set to be an amazing one.
