2025 Tour Merch Thread

This has gotta be the worst run of your posters potentially ever. But when the merch guys are making tokens for 25 cents and selling them out (almost immediately) at $5 a pop, I doubt the band cares.

After seeing this he was lazy and I renege my first comment...

Must have taken a full 10 minutes from idea to final image. Almost feels disrespectful… to everyone

Quick cash grab, absolutely pathetic, how many young artist are out there waiting for a chance and this dude gets a free pass?

All I really need from tonight is a sticker. And I can't really justify dealing with all the merch madness just for a $2 sticker. If anyone can grab me one, I'll buy you a beer. That's a 900% return on your investment.

I think the issue is Tsurt has used all local artists this time, apart from Ames and Kevin Tong (who is an established Alternative Movie Poster artist) who unsurprisingly had the two best posters. Hardly any of these have done concert posters before. For me the solution is simple, just go back to using mainly established poster artists. You can see it works from last year. Australia and NZ had the best posters and they had a higher number of established poster artists (Ken Taylor, Ben Brown, Rhys Cooper, Bella Grace, Travis Price etc). It also impacted the Euro tour posters last year as well. Apart from London and Dublin, mainly local artists were used.

Disappointed in the poster and the lack of effort. These things are precious and while art is subjective, hitting Copy/Paste and then asking for $45 is insulting. I wondered if the Nashville posters might lean too far into a cowboy theme. Boy was I wrong. I have posters from every show I’ve attended until tonight.

It did just free up my day though. And I saved about $100 by the time it’s framed.

That FL Night 1 poster is looking better and better with every show.

Hopefully Nashville night 2 merch will be a banger. Can't image it being worse that this. Although nothing surprises me lately.

Always a blessing to the wallet and your time when the poster and shirt look like toddler art and you get to skip the lines.

Potential for bottom 5 shirt/poster of all time.

Skateboard deck is cool though just no use for it.

Im not sure there has ever been a poster that bad. Even the 4 eyed cowboy is preferable.

I actually like the poster, lol.

Misfitsish

Kinda reminds me of 2003 era posters, not a fan but then again I haven’t seen one this year that I actually like

I like the design but woof this is lazy.

If anyone is in line for merch, I'd recommend getting out of it and exploring the city instead. Lots to see and do in Nashville.

If you are in line for 4 hours for this stuff…yeesh. Can’t help you! LOL. Let’s have a good concert to make up for it

Someone must have told him that its good

I like it but as 75% of the print a little too minimalist for me. Lots of good stuff if you dig into more of his work though.

Yeah, I checked him out. Pity he didn't reuse or rehash some of his other prints. I like the simple posters but this looks like potato printing gone badly wrong.

Lots of comic book western themes that I think people would have gone nuts over

I still have nightmares from the Nashville 22' merch line!

ecarlson8 · May 6

lazy artist to reuse same image on so much of his stuff... lame the band picked him

JojoRice · May 6

Hopefully ATL1 poster drops in the 10c shop today. I put off getting one last week until after the show but they surprisingly sold out.
