DR. MARTENS DOES THE US FESTIVAL SEASON
During the Summer, Dr. Martens headed to a number of music festivals across the US. From punk rock to alternative and hip-hop, music brought everyone together with a united spirit.
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.
Again Dr. Martens kicked off the weekend with a festival pre-party in our Wicker Park Store, where Chicago-based band Marina City played prior to taking the main stages of Riot Fest. After their set on Sunday, Marina City stopped by our booth for a signing session with their fans.
We also invited festival-goers to show us their best stage moves in our rock-band photo booth.
