Manchester-based streetwear brand Clints has announced that Chip, Mike Skinner, K-Trap and the city’s very own Children of Zeus are set to headline as the full line-up for  Clints Fest go live.

Launched in 2020, favouring authenticity and genuine connection, Clints has steadily grown into a cultural movement.

And now, pivioting to it’s first annual festival, taking place for one day only, at the Barton Aerodrome, which is located in Eccles, just outside the Trafford Centre there is a sense of excitement that this is a festival for the people, which reflect the youth culture of the city as there will be three stages where you’ll be able to enjoy rap, grime, RnB, soul, amapiano and afro-fusion.

On the launch of Clints Fest, Founder Junior Clint shared, “We’ve built Clints on the back of our supporters embracing the DIY spirit. This festival is the ultimate expression of that ethos. Housing both music legends with upcoming artists is our ambition with Clints Fest, and we can’t wait to deliver it.” 

There is a special focus on upcoming artists from the area and the north and Midlands as Deed0t, Comfy and RenzNiro are set to perform, as well as BBC Radio 1 DJ and R&B soulstresses Victoria Jane, Francesca and Ralph the Sage, to name a few.

A Clints pop-up store and fairground will be on site for people to browse, buy and enjoy, as it is estimated that up to 5,000 guests will be there at the event, which will run from 12 pm to 10:30 pm.

The full line-up includes Mike Skinner, K-Trap, Chip, Sainté, Children of Zeus, Natanya, Alana Marie, RUBII, Skeete, Sainté, Kofi Stone, Deed0t, Comfy, RenzNiro, Victoria Jane, Francesca, Ralph The Sage, Zeddy East,three8, Princethekid and Harrison Powers.

Gaining attention for its football and clothes, Clints next venture is an expression of Manchester, a city with a famous music history’s current musical DIY landscape.

They have already in the past put on a series of music-led events such as live cyphers, meet and greets at their flagship store and hosting the likes of D Double E and Jammer, but this is one step further.
