Festival Season 2025 - Powered by Forty

Hannah Gordon
Festival season is upon us, and for 2025, the UK line-up demands gear that’s purpose-driven, honest, and built to last. Whether you’re dancing under Manchester skies, Somerset mud or praying for sun in Glasgow here are our top picks to help you stand out without compromise.


Parklife Essentials

Parklife takes over Heaton Park with sun-soaked sets and crowd-surfing. But lugging a bag while you dance? A total pain. Meet the Rig Bag.
Why it’s essential: Spacious enough for a water bottle, sunnies, and a pocket tee change, yet slim enough to let you crowd-surf without losing your kit.
Built to last: Reinforced straps and weather-resistant zips mean you won’t be searching for lost gear halfway through the day.
Style points: Minimalist design with discreet Forty branding—no fuss, no frills, just purpose-driven utility.

Glastonbury Picks

Glastonbury’s five-day marathon demands layers that capture the spirit of the ’80s and ’90s club flyers—when music and tech collided. Enter the Deface Bitmap Tee in Peach/Teal.
’80s/’90s Inspiration: Bitmap was developed in 1987 for storing 2D images on computers. We’ve used that technique to pay homage to the era’s all-nighter flyers, reimagining them as unique, creative monsters.
Oversized Fit: Roomy enough for muddy fields and spontaneous mosh pits, but still crisp when you’re front-row at the Pyramid Stage.
240gsm Organic Cotton: Heavyweight yet breathable—designed to survive five days of Glastonbury mayhem without losing shape or colour.
Deface Collection Style: The Peach/Teal combo pops under daylight and festival lighting, ensuring you’re seen even when the mud starts flying.

TRNSMT Weather Gear

Glasgow’s unpredictable drizzle demands a windbreaker that keeps you dry and seen. Inspired by the Levanter wind—symbolising change and following your dreams—our Tech Levanter Nylon Windbreaker in Black has you covered.
100% Nylon Fabric: Lightweight, breathable, and water-resistant for those sudden showers.
Reflective Zips & Lining: Two-way front zip and pocket zips catch the light under stage lamps, while the metallic interior finish keeps you high and dry.
Embroidered Hood Branding: Subtle Forty flair that nods to ten years of tenacity.

All Points East Shorts

London’s summer heat demands perfectly cut shorts that breathe and move with you.
Riley Shorts: Lightweight nylon blend that wicks sweat, dries fast, and stays sharp through long sets.
Elasticated Waist & Sewn-In Pockets: Store your festival essentials—phone, wallet, sunnies—hands-free.
Subtle Branding: A small Forty box logo on the thigh that shows you’re part of the scene without shouting.

Creamfields Camping Kit

All-day raving followed by a campsite crash-out means you need layers that transition seamlessly.
TOPO Hoodie (Black/Green): Inspired by topographical maps—where elevation lines look like melted monsters—this oversized hoodie uses 350gsm organic cotton and bold tech-green embroidered logos.
Dual-Layer Design: A soft fleece interior keeps you warm from sunrise to sunset, while the durable outer shell stands up to festival rain and mud.
Practical Pockets: Deep kangaroo pocket for snacks and valuables on muddy treks to the tent.
