XLARGE and X-girl Step into SUMMER SONIC 2026
XLARGE and X-girl, iconic streetwear brands operated by Beads International, have confirmed their participation as official sponsors of the SUMMER SONIC 2026 festival for the second consecutive year. This partnership marks a significant collaboration, emphasizing the brands' commitment to music, art, and urban culture.
Since their establishment in the 1990s, XLARGE and X-girl have seamlessly intertwined with various cultural movements such as music, skateboarding, and graffiti. Their journey through dynamic energies in urban fashion has made them not just brands, but cultural phenomena that resonate deeply with their audience.
Celebrating 25 Years of SUMMER SONIC
In recognition of SUMMER SONIC’s 25th anniversary, both brands will release a special commemorative collaboration T-shirt as part of their sponsorship. Last year's collaboration T-shirt sold out rapidly, demonstrating a considerable demand and enthusiasm from fans.
This year's T-shirt design encapsulates the vibrant spirit of the festival, stating, “The moment you get your ticket, the festival begins.” This tagline reflects the excitement fans feel leading up to the event.
On the front of the shirt, a limited edition logo celebrating the 25th-anniversary of SUMMER SONIC boldly stands out. The back of the T-shirt features X-girl's iconic FACE logo, synonymous with 90s girls' street culture, combined with XLARGE’s signature BOX logo, creating a visually striking intersection of both brands' identities.
