Fred Perry’s Subculture is a series of global annual celebrations of music and street culture organised by U.K. clothing brand Fred Perry. The series made its debut in 2005 in Britain, forged by decades of Fred Perry’s connection to music and street style dating back to the 1950s. Pre-pandemic in 2019, Subculture was held at REXKL with over 2000 fans who turned up (Photo featured in London’s Design Museum at the Fred Perry: A Cultural Icon Exhibition in June 2022). In the year 2020 and 2021, the concerts were held online.
Other highlights include:
RAW TALES OF SUBCULTURE: Discover portraits of local (MY) & regional (SG & ID) icons and innovators spanning from independent musicians to artists and more – all bound by the same subversive spirit of the Fred Perry Shirt.
Guests can quench their thirst with the best coffee in town by Kee Nguyen Vietnamese Coffee, by Fred Perry ambassador, Radius Khor. For those in search of a crystal cold one, the Tiger Crystal, the official beer partner of FRED PERRY SUBCULTURE, is available for them to crack open and gulp on.
ORANGE: THE VOICE OF SUBCULTURES: The epic sounds of the day will be supported by true drivers of music, sharing sounds of Britain with Orange Amplifiers by Music Bliss. An array of amplifiers will also be on display for music enthusiasts wanting to give it a whirl like some of the greats performing on stage.
