The first T-Shirt Festival was organised by Fat Radio in 2005.
During the last weekend in May, the Makkasan Airport Link station was packed with hipsters and music fans for the T-Shirt Festival, hosted by indie radio station Cat Radio.
The annual two-day festival featured hundreds of vendors selling all things trendy, with thousands of cool T-shirts created by new designers, artists, celebrities and Cat Radio DJs. Festival-goers also got to see live sets by over 20 local indie bands, including Lomosonic, 25 Hours, Paradox, Flure, Yellow Fang, Aire, Sqweez Animal, Polycat, Greasy Cafe and The Parkinson, to name just a few.
Student Weekly went along to check out the festival and to ask the Cat Radio staff to share some photos of the fun event.
