Surabaya, Indonesia — The wait is finally over. Band T-Shirt Day is bringing Chapter 9 to Surabaya on October 24–25, 2026, turning Area Kolaborasi Kreatif, Subec, at THR Mall Surabaya into a two-day gathering for anyone who lives and breathes music, band merch, and the culture that comes with it. Running from 12 PM to 9 PM each day, the event is free to enter, making it an open invitation to dig through racks, hunt down hard-to-find pieces, and link up with people who share the same obsession.
Band tees have always been more than just something to throw on. They’re wearable archives of the bands we grew up listening to, the gigs that left us deaf for three days, and the scenes that shaped our taste long before algorithms started telling us what to listen to. From underground hardcore and metal to alternative music and vintage finds, the culture around band merchandise has become its own ecosystem, connecting musicians, independent sellers, collectors, and fans through the stuff they wear and the music they stand behind. Chapter 9 brings that energy back to the floor, with a stacked lineup of merchandise vendors, record stores, and live music ready to make the weekend worth showing up for.
The merchandise lineup features @barokahstuff_id, @batsanctum.item, @bojakramapress, @buddygolleer, @chaosbreedmerch.id, @cotton00s, @deadly_throat, @dieliciousmerch, @differentclassgarage, @false_xdealer, @fatkenprettyjunk, @godthroat.dealer, @horriblemerch_, @isaya.archive, @jangan.asem.merch, @lakuin.merchandise, @metalgodzbdg, @mohondoarestu13, @musikwasik_store, @puskesmerch, @seedstores, @segentees, @semende.supply, @summerchive, and @twone.vintage. Whether you’re chasing the next addition to your band tee rotation, digging for vintage pieces, or looking to support independent merch sellers, there’ll be plenty to get your hands on. Keep an eye out, too, for special merchandise drops that give collectors another reason to pull up early.
For the record heads, the digging doesn’t stop at T-shirts. @arvakesit, @kasetria, @sekarepmu_, @serikatrecords, and @teboanalogkan are joining the record store lineup, bringing another layer to the weekend for those who prefer their music collections in physical form. And because a gathering built around music culture needs an actual soundtrack, @buasheavy, @firstrateband, @macanjoget, and @raousse_ej are set to round out the music lineup.
Chapter 9 is supported by @damageinc.project, @gekrafssurabaya, @moondinistudios, @substance.sub, and @youthgeist.comm.sub, with media partners @diveonasterisme, @brik____, @dilarangduduk, @gigsteria_id, @radioactiveforce, @yourkraz.id, and @thedisplaynet helping spread the word. The event's visual direction is designed by @fadly.zakaria.
Whether you’re a dedicated collector, a vintage-head, a record digger, or simply someone who wants to spend a weekend surrounded by music-minded people, Band T-Shirt Day Chapter 9 is one to put on your calendar. No ticket barriers, no complicated entry requirements—just two days of merchandise, records, music, and the people keeping the culture moving.
