Lollapalooza Black T-Shirt

One of Kid Cudi's favorite activities is vintage shopping. Over the course of Kid Cudi's career as a globally acclaimed musician, he has used his extensive travels to explore local vintage stores around the world, often finding buried treasures, curating an exceptional collection of rare and one-of-a-kind vintage pieces, each with its own story and character. Many of the pieces, including this lot, pay tribute to artists who have inspired Kid Cudi and influenced his journey as a musician.

This black T-shirt, printed on a classic Giant by Anvil blank, is from the 1993 Lollapalooza music festival, an event that defined that years alternative scene. Founded by Perry Farrell, Lollapalooza became a cultural touchstone with the 1993 lineup remaining one of its most iconic, featuring groundbreaking acts like Alice in Chains, Primus, Tool, and Rage Against the Machine. A true fan of music history, Kid Cudi knew this shirt was an important artifact in music history when he found it. With its psychedelic fractal-inspired graphic and bold typography, this tee captures the rebellious, genre-blurring spirit of the era when alternative rock and grunge reigned supreme.
