Okey cokey people, its time to get purchasing. Just added to our Capsule online store are a selection of wonderful winter warmers, in other words we’ve got some Supersonic hoodies for sale.
Firstly there is the grey hoody with a turquoise back print of the Supersonic speaker heads designed by Matt at Beat13, as well as a navy hoody with a silver printed logo. These are on 100% cotton, heavy weight Fly 53 hooded sweaters. They have a pocket at the front, they are NOT zip up.
We also have a very limited amount of Gunsho designed hoodies, these are navy with a pink/black/white back print. Only a handful produced.
All available from our shop.
The very talented and at times extremely patient Heavy Object along with Ben Javens have over the past few years created and designed the Supersonic catalogue. Often they have recieved briefs which looking back on it seem slightly silly ie “must include mini goats” and “an industrial landscape”. Many a good designer would be put off but such a challenge but not these guys, they always come up trumps, creating not only an informative guide to the weekend but also producing a beautifully crafted item which we hope people will cherish as a momento of their time at Supersonic.
They have now digitised the last 3 years worth of catalogues and you can check them out here:

“The closing applause is superb, and doesn’t want to allow itself to stop. I raise my hands as high as they will reach as the Germans raise theirs in appreciation. It’s a real moment, another to file beside the many that have come my way while enjoying what just might be, for real, the best festival in the country.”
