Band merch is like an exclusive club: you had to be there to get it. Or did you? With the rise of retro tees, there’s no way of telling whether someone actually went to that Metallica gig or if they just found it on the rails of their local vintage spot. Or, for that matter, in the Urban Outfitters Music Shop.

From vinyl to posters, record players, and band merch, the Urban Outfitters Music Shop is one of the retailer’s biggest hidden gems. While it’s very easy to lose an hour scrolling through the various music avenues in the shop, we thought we’d streamline your experience by rounding up some of the best band T-shirts.

Band T-shirts are a complete wardrobe staple in spring and summer, but it’s essential that you pick the right one both in terms of artist and aesthetics. Below, we’ve put together 9 band T-shirts from the Urban Outfitters Music Shop that are failproof.

Grateful Dead merch has had a meteoric rise to mainstream stardom in recent years, thanks in no small part to a certain Nike collaboration. If you're looking to spend a bit less but adorn your fits with the band's signature dancing bears, this tee is a winner.

Skim Milk X David Bowie Tee

$80

Urban Outfitters

Buy at Urban Outfitters

Bowie's trailblazing style is hard (read: impossible) to replicate, so there's no point trying to design something wild in an attempt to do so. Instead, this simple, off-white tee does the job with restraint.

Notorious B.I.G. I Got A Story To Tell Tee

Notorious B.I.G. I Got A Story To Tell Tee

$39

Urban Outfitters

The Notorious B.I.G. told many stories in his short career, but few were as well written as the lyrics of "I Got A Story To Tell". Don this tee when you're bumping the track this summer.
