We are proud and stoked to announce the Festival Season 2019!
The American Socks teams are getting ready to hit the road, pack up loads of socks and bring them straight to the coolest and biggest events around Europe. 

BIGGER EQUALS BETTER. Starting this Friday in Belgium, we'll be attending 22 events in 10 different countries. We couldn't miss our favorites like Punk Rock Holiday, FISE or Rock Am Ring and add some newcomers to the list like Slam Dunk (First time in the UK!) or Doctor Music Festival. This is going the be the biggest Sock tour EVER. Write it down Guinness World Records!

LET'S SOCK UP THE PARTY.  Wherever we go, we bring the party with us. Live Music, Gaming Zone, Giveaways, Karaoke and DJ sessions at selected events just so you don't get bored at any time. If you like to sing, dance and forget about everything, you're or kind of Socker! :)

NEW SOCKS & NEW PRODUCTS. We're a touring showroom. At our stands, you will be be able to take a sneak a peek of the upcoming collections and newest releases. Some leftovers of the 2017 and 2018 seasons will be available at a discounted price too. Note: Don't only buy socks on festivals, you have a really big list of over 300 retails where American Socks are also available. Support your local skate & clothing shop! 

POSTER ROCKS. We worked with illustration demigod Joel Abad to pull out our favorite poster so far. If you're into design, you should follow him on Instagram.

Nothing more to say...This summer is gonna be KILLER. 
See you at the festivals Sockers!

Did you really think we'd forget?

This year let's unite for a cause bigger than us.
It does not matter if you're a Punker, a Metalhead or a Hardcore Kiddo, let's build a BIG WALL (of death) and celebrate Groezrock is back for REAL. As usual, we're bringing back the "Groezsock" for everyone who wants to take a souvenir home. It will only be available on the festival ground and there are few units, so don't wait last minute. 

MAKE GROEZROCK GREAT AGAIN! (with Socks)

Andele! Have you ever crossed the border?
This socks will soak you into a mariachi and make you eat Tortilla chips with Guacamole like a Mexican.
Quit this never ending siesta and check out the new socks we've got for you!

 

What can we say About Groezrock? American Socks, first appeared at the festival Market in 2013. We were a smaller brand and with only 6 different products (all knee highs). There were no plans, we just packed up and drove up north with a really simple set up, few chairs and a table. 
Back then we didn't imagine how this festival would shape the brand during the forthcoming years. In 2016 we debuted at the festival field with the Acoustic Stage concept with acts like GOB, Frank Turner or the Mad Caddies.We even did a collaboration release: the Groezsock. Everything was wonderful until BOOM. When the news hit, all the team got sad. A festival season without Groezrock is sour. 

1. The BIG boy is BACK in the game.

2018 was a sad year. Papa Groez announced that he was going to take a sabbatical and step back with an indoor edition to come back stronger than ever. After so many years, it's logical that the organization had to charge batteries to keep going. Good news is that this 2019 we have our personal "mecca" back in the game and ready to take over once again the frontline of the festival season.

2. Lineup is SICK.

Too much is never enough! 90 bands across 5 stages is all you need to satisfy your live music addiction. With many exclusive acts and big names like JAWBREAKER, DROPKICK MURPHYS, MILLENCOLIN, STICK TO YOUR GUNS, BOWLING FOR SOUP, NECK DEEP, COMEBACK KID, AUTHORITY ZERO, COUNTERPARTS...it's nearly impossible you get bored the weekend of April 26th and 27th.

3. Location is (almost) HEAVEN.

Forget those festivals with dusty air or concrete floors. Meerhout is a rural village and the festival erects on a grassy field where you can lay down between gigs and breathe some pure air. Supermarkets and other facilities are super close. When you're having a siesta, remember you're a foreigner. Cows are the landlords there and after the storm, the land is returned to them. Grass is precious!

4. Price is ridiculous. BANG for your BUCK!

5. Sing at the AMERICAN SOCKS Acoustic Stage.

7. FOOD court is delicious.

8. 100% Punk Rock & Hardcore since 1992.

For over 2 decades the festival has been alive, just because it didn't happen in 2018 it does not mean you should stop attending. This guys know what they are doing and live for music, just as much as you do. 
It ain't easy. There's a LOT of work behind the curtain and a lot of volunteers will be there so you can have the best Punk-Rock vacation ever. Choose Groez.

9. Move YOUR BODY at the afterparties.

There's always music at the afterparties with DJ's that will rock the hell out of hits to make you dance and sing. Still don't know the acts, but the bookers at Groez will figure out the best for you. If your friends go sleep early and you're by yourself, join the American Socks crew and let's crash the area. We'll be there to sock together!

10. A FESTIVAL EXPERIENCE you won't forget.

Experiences are priceless, how cool is to pack up your coolest clothes, grab your sleeping bag and head to Belgium with your best friends to have, possibly, one of the best weekends of the year? Go crazy, forget about problems and support live music right in the heart of Europe.
See you at Groezrock sockers!

American Socks are the high socks with 3 genuine stripes. Inspired by the American skaters of the 70's, we have re-designed and improved the classic to resist absolutely everything.

As always, we look for models with alternative styles to do sessions, and we had the opportunity to do a photo session with @merincibi

Don't you know who it is? Still haven't seen the Instagram profile?

Merin is a model with a unique alternative style that gave us the opportunity to make a couple of photos with our old school socks for the most stylish places in Barcelona.

As always, we want to share with you our work to read your opinions! What American Socks do you like most for her?

Our American Socks currently reach all people around the world, but as many of you already know, they are originals from Barcelona!

So, our official shop can be found in the big city of Barcelona, specifically in Urquinaona, Carrer Sant Pere Més Alt 52. All those who are visiting the streets of Barcelona this Christmas, you can not forget to stop by! You're going out with socks for the winter!

We have been creating our store for a long time so that, each person who enters, can contemplate the skater-alternative style of our casual socks.

Today we took the opportunity to take some pictures and show them to all of you. We wait for you here!



 One year without our favorite festival made us sad. That's why we're so stoked this April 2019, we're all traveling back to Meerhout in Belgium to attend the biggest Punk-Rock gathering.
