Yes! You shouldn't wear a t-shirt of the band you are going to see, but one of a similar band. Fro example, when seeing Carter USM a few years ago, my mate wore a PWEI t-shirt. You see?

 

[Mardy]

however, exception No.1 : If you're going to see a band in concert, it is perfectly acceptable to wear the T-shirt of the support band.

This Tshirt or that Tshirt?  WTF are these rules?  Corpse paint or GTFO.

Greatest Tshirt spot of all time for me was someone wearing a Citizen Dick tshirt at Reading when Pearl Jam played in 2006.

I don't think it counts at Glastonbury! Also there seems to be a generation divide with the rules, as people of my age *cough* nearly 40 *cough* stick to the rule whereas the yoof haven't heard of it!

immortal/abbath own because of how self aware they are

[Gnomicide]

The t-shirt rule was mentioned on Silicon Valley last week. Big Head wanted to know if wearing the hoodie of the college you go to is the same as wearing the t-shirt of the band you are going to see.

Carry on.

Dear All

Thank you for your enquiry and request for consultation.

The Rules^TM (not mine, you understand) are quite clear and unequivocal.

At a festival it is acceptable to wear a t-shirt of a band playing at that festival. But not on the same day that they are playing.

At gigs it is acceptable to wear a support band's t-shirt (bonus hipster smart-arse point)

At gigs it is not acceptable to wear the main band's t-shirt. No, not even a really old one from when they were good and hadn't sold out to The Man and only you watched them and nobody knew about them.

Except if you're watching Metallica.

When it is obligatory to wear a Metallica t-shirt.

Obviously.

You're welcome.

He might.

I won't.

Non-negotiable.

If you would also like specific guidance on what constitutes a satisfactory 'good' t-shirt, I could oblige. But a bit later - am a bit busy atm!

T-shirts are novice kit at festivals anyway.  Something with a collar is better to protect ya' neck if you're standing in the sun for a while.

what if you only wear collarless shirts due to your status as a Qing bureaucrat?

[CaledonianGonzo]

Shouldn't be an issue as long as you pair it with a coolie hat.

Question.  Is it acceptable to wear a band tshirt related to the band who are headlining.  Say for example wearing a The Mars Volta Tshirt to an At The Drive-in gig, or vice versa?

Can I also add an amendment, it is only acceptable to wear a festival tshirt for the festival you are currently at if it is >10 years old.
