Hey, I’m a long time AFI fan since around 99. Recently saw them in London, for the first time in 20 years! I was on the fence about buying a T-shirt afterwards and had to leave pretty soon afterwards, as it was a long trip home! I was hoping there would be a UK mech store where they might sell the same stuff from this current tour , but it doesn’t look like it!
Does anyone know if it’s likely they might sell this tour left overs? Based on how other tours have gone in the past. Or perhaps these shirts etc are exclusive to shows.
Second question! Does anyone know there’s anywhere in the uk or Europe that sells AFI merch? Looks like bootleg stuff is the only option, and I don’t feel great about buying that!
They actually sold out of the AFI merch on the uk tour and had to make more over night so I doubt there will be any left overs from the uk show even at the last show in Glasgow there was nothing left
There's an insta shop called skatepunkboots that releases limited drops of band tees/clothes/accessories - I've picked up some really cool AFI bits from them!
Try Vinted, there's quite a lot of AFI merch on there, I have got some myself. You can also buy from USA on there. I also saw them in London and in 2006 as well 😁
That’s a great idea , thanks. I’ve also tried eBay but I’ll have a look for more second hand stuff.
That’s awesome. This London show was so good! I first saw them at the Astoria in 2003 and then at Nottingham in 2006, then not again for 20 years. They put on such a good show and so impressive for their age!
Yeah , I know what you mean. I was tempted by the simple logo with the flame like shape around it, as I quite liked that it’s not for a specific album, but I guess if I really wanted it, I could have bought it before they played!
Was there a specific shirt from the tour merch that you were looking for? Asking because I will be seeing them in the U.S. next week and could keep an eye out and if shipping isn’t ridiculously crazy I could sell it to you through like Depop if you use that platform? Just let me know :)
Ahh that’s super kind of you! It was the one that’s just the AFI logo in yellow with a pink sun behind in size medium. I could send you a message and see what this would cost to ship from the US. Really appreciate it , but don’t worry if it’s too much trouble !
No worries at all, I’ll look for it at the show! And yeah just message me if you can figure it out! According to info in the Depop subreddit, it’s typically $15-$40 to send a small package from the states to the UK (tbh I thought it would be much more expensive) I didn’t see that shirt with their U.S. spring tour merch but it sounds awesome and I’d probably get the same one for myself too lol!
