Amazon Launches Artist Shop With Officially-Licensed Tour Merch and Tees

If you purchase an independently reviewed product or service through a link on our website, Rolling Stone may receive an affiliate commission.

CDs and vinyl might not be as popular as they used to be, but music fans still need something physical to rep their favorite artists. Hence the rise of tour tees and artist merch. From throwback T-shirts of old school bands to merch from current artists, the best tour tees are now more than concert memorabilia: They’re an artifact of your music taste — not to mention a stylish addition to anyone’s wardrobe.

If you’ve tried to find good band merch in recent years, you’ve likely encountered some difficulty. Demand is high for both vintage and modern music tees, resulting in a market permeated by knock-offs, high prices and lots of sifting work for shoppers.

However, there’s another option besides digging through thrift stores and scrolling on re-sale sites: Amazon. The retail giant’s Artist Merch Shop boasts an impressive collection of officially-licensed merch, including some of the best tour tees from acts like Queen, The Rolling Stones and Justin Bieber. All of the tees look like something you might score at a thrift shop — only free of stains or holes. Plus, most of the tees can be delivered to your door in two days with an Amazon Prime membership (get a 30-day free trial to Prime here ).

Whether you’re shopping for yourself or looking for a great gift, check out all of Amazon’s officially licensed tour tees here and see our favorites below.

1. Sex Pistols Official Japan Tour T-Shirt

In 1996, the Sex Pistols reunited for the Filthy Lucre Tour . Although Johnny Rotten acknowledged the reunion as a cash-grab (“we’ve found a common cause, and that’s your money,” he said during a press conference at the time), the tour produced some killer merch, such as this tee from the Japanese stop.

With Bohemian Rhapsody still (somewhat) fresh on our minds, it’s a good time to rep Queen. The band’s 1980 tour, showcasing their album The Game , is memorialized in this bold T-shirt. Smokey stage graphics and eighties font give the tee an authentically Queen vibe while a lightweight cotton build makes it comfortable.

3. Justin Bieber Official Purpose Tour T-Shirt

For modern pop fans, check out this Purpose Tour T-shirt. The Purpose Tour was Justin Bieber’s first North American stadium tour, and it played an important role in his transition from child star to adult celebrity (now he’s launching his own cannabis line ).

4. Liquid Blue Men’s Led Zeppelin Icarus 1975 T-Shirt

While we patiently await the release of Becoming Led Zeppelin , the first-ever band-authorized documentary about the group, we’re also eyeing this officially licensed Led Zeppelin T-shirt. Commemorating the legendary band’s 1975 tour, the shirt is a clear throwback with a bright tie-dye pattern and the band’s bold Icarus logo on the chest.

5. Rolling Stones Europe 76 Tour T-Shirt

Rolling Stones fans have been through a tough time recently with the death of Charlie Watts . If you want to support the band with some representation, this officially licensed Europe 76 Tour shirt is a great way to do just that. It recreates the look of a tee from the band’s stop in Berlin, replete with imagery and text to celebrate the tour.

6. Black Sabbath Official World Tour 78 T-Shirt

Black Sabbath’s 1978 tour was one for the books: it was the group’s last full tour with Ozzy Osbourne until 1997, and the opening act was a freshly-famous Van Halen . With a low-key design and seventies psychedelic touches, this shirt commemorates the world tour and makes a killer pick for any Sabbath fan.

7. The Beatles U.S. Tour NYC 1964 T-Shirt

This Beatles tour shirt is the kind of straightforward, versatile graphic tee you can wear year-round with almost anything. Coming in a range of colors including blue, olive green and black, the T-shirt remembers the Beatles’ New York City stop during their 1964 tour. This was an important tour for the legendary group, remembered for the band’s stand against segregation at their Florida show, as well as their first meeting with Bob Dylan in NYC.

Here’s a solid gift idea for any music fan. This pack of tees includes two AC/DC T-shirts, one showcasing a repeated band logo and the other recreating Back in Black tour graphics. Gift both of them, or give one to your favorite AccaDacca fan and keep one for yourself.

Polina Ivanova in Berlin and Max Seddon in Riga

Roula Khalaf, Editor of the FT, selects her favourite stories in this weekly newsletter.

At least 60 people died and more than 100 were injured after attackers opened fire at a large concert venue in Moscow late on Friday and a blaze took hold of the building.

A minimum of four men dressed in camouflage burst into the Crocus City Hall concert venue on the outskirts of Moscow, where a band called Picnic was due to perform, the Ria state news agency reported, citing one of its reporters, who was a witness.

The shooting was the largest loss of life in a terrorist attack in Russia in at least a decade and recalled the Islamist insurgencies that marked the first decade of president Vladimir Putin’s rule.

Russia’s Investigative Committee, a crimes unit, said more than 60 people died in the attack, adding that the total was likely to rise.

Russia’s national guard said “a search is ongoing” for the attackers. The assailants left the venue in a white Renault, according to state newswire RIA Novosti.

Putin heard reports from the heads of four Russian security agencies on the investigation into the attack, as well as officials in charge of efforts to help the victims, the Kremlin said in a late-night statement.

Earlier Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters that the president was informed of the attack “within the first minutes” after it began and was “constantly receiving information about the events and the measures being taken from all the relevant agencies”, according to news agency Interfax. “All the essential instructions have been given by the president.”

Video description

Fire rises above the burning Crocus City Hall concert venue

News outlets on social media app Telegram posted graphic videos that appeared to show several people being killed by the unidentified men and cited unverified death tolls several times higher than the FSB’s.

Videos from outside the building showed an enormous blaze engulfing the roof, sending smoke billowing out into the night sky.

Officials described the attack as an act of terrorism. Some of them speculated that Ukraine, the country Russia launched a full-scale invasion against two years ago, was responsible, without providing any evidence. Kyiv immediately denied any involvement.

A US official said the US had no reason to doubt a claim from the Isis terror group that it was behind the attack. The FSB recently said it had broken up an Isis cell in Kaluga, a city south-west of Moscow.

Sergey Sobyanin, Moscow’s mayor, said the venue had suffered a “horrible tragedy” and cancelled large-scale public events due to take place this weekend in the Russian capital. People were also evacuated on Friday night from big malls in some other Russian cities over fears of similar attacks.

The US embassy in Moscow said it was “shocked” by news of the attack and expressed “sincere condolences to the Russian people”.

Terror attacks rocked Russia in the 1990s and 2000s, mostly related to two bloody separatist wars in the southern republic of Chechnya, which formed the backdrop to Putin’s rise to power.

Friday’s attack will bring back memories for Moscow residents of the Nord-Ost siege, when Chechen fighters took hundreds of people hostage in a Moscow theatre in 2002, leading to the deaths of more than 170 people.

After Putin’s security services quelled Islamist insurgencies in Chechnya and neighbouring Dagestan, major attacks had largely subsided in the past decade, with the most recent coming in a 2017 suicide bombing in the St Petersburg metro that killed 15 people.

Earlier this month, the US government had information about a planned terrorist attack in Moscow — potentially targeting large gatherings — which prompted the state department to issue a public advisory to Americans in Russia. The US also shared this information with Russian authorities in accordance with its long-standing “duty to warn” policy, according to Adrienne Watson, a spokesperson for the National Security Council.

Six other western countries’ missions issued alerts in early March warning about attacks on public venues, including concerts, in the next 48 hours.

Putin dismissed what he said were “provocative statements” from the western embassies while speaking to Russia’s FSB security service on Tuesday.

“This all recalls outright blackmail and the intention to scare and destabilise our society,” Putin said, fresh from extending his 24-year rule until at least 2030 after last weekend’s presidential elections.

Videos posted on Russian social media after the attack showed men with automatic weapons roaming the lobby of the venue, driving screaming people into a corner, and shooting several of them at point-blank range.

Some people could be seen prostrate on the floor of the lobby, apparently after being shot.

Another video, taken by a concertgoer, showed seats on fire inside the hall, and people trying to flee as automatic fire was heard and smoke filled the room.

“I was in the lobby, I heard machinegun fire, the crowd was running out through the service entrance,” the Russian RBC magazine cited a concertgoer as saying. “There was a crush. Once on the street I heard the machine gun fire again.”

The FSB and Russia’s national guard stormed the building, where the attackers had holed up, according to state media. Videos showed emergency helicopters circling over the flaming roof.

Crocus City Hall is located just outside the perimeter of the Russian capital, and is a big concert venue close to an exhibition centre of the same name that regularly hosts conferences and other events.

The hall can host 6,200 people. Tickets for the concert by Picnic, an older- generation Russian rock band that began performing in 1978, were sold out.

Madonna's free Brazil show draws 1.5 million fans

M adonna put on a free concert in Rio de Janeiro on Saturday night with throngs of fans flocking to see the pop idol on Brazil's famous Copacabana beach.

"Rio, here we are in the most beautiful place in the world," she declared, as the performance got under way.

The show was the final stop on the 65-year-old's Celebration Tour, celebrating her 40 years in music.

More than 1.5 million fans were estimated to have attended the show.

"Are you ready?" Madonna posted on her Instagram account seven hours before the show.

Crowds of fans were seen dancing along to Madonna's songs played from speakers on the stage, hours before the American superstar arrived.

In what many have called a "historic" show, Madonna impressed the audience with multiple set and costume changes and light displays.

The signer performed some of her greatest hits, including Nothing Really Matters, Like a Prayer and Vogue, and was joined on stage at one point by Brazilian singer Anitta.

There were giant screens located along the beach, to ensure the largely Brazilian crowd was able to see the event unfold. There was also a large police presence to ensure the safety of all those in attendance.

T-shirts, souvenirs and billboards with Madonna's face decked the neighbourhood as excitement built ahead of the concert.

Since she burst onto the UK charts with Holiday in 1984, Madonna has scored another 71 hits, including 13 number one singles.

Some, like Vogue, Like A Prayer and Ray of Light, are era-defining anthems. Others, like Live To Tell and Don't Tell Me, are beloved fan favourites.

Last year, the superstar was found unconscious in her New York apartment in June and rushed to hospital, where she received treatment for a serious bacterial infection.

But she has since returned to full strength and her tour has been marked by her characteristically energetic performances.

The Rio concert was the final touch on a tour made up of 80 shows across Europe and North America.

Moscow bloodshed comes two decades after some of worst attacks in Russia

Phil Helsel

The shooting attacks in Moscow are the latest in a series of deadly terror attacks in the country since the 2000s.

In 2004, militants from Chechnya and elsewhere took hostages at a school in Beslan in southern Russia.

The militants demanded a withdrawal from Chechnya. Hostages were kept in a gymnasium, and 334 died — half of them children — when gunfire and explosions erupted when it was stormed. Hostages’ families were critical of the rescue operation. Russian prosecutors later cleared authorities .

Two years prior, in 2002, Chechen separatists attacked the Dubrovka Theater in Moscow and took more than 700 people hostage. Russian forces used gas, and 129 hostages died. The attackers were killed.

More recently, in 2017 a suicide bomber from Kyrgyzstan killed 15 people as well as himself in an attack on a St. Petersburg subway. In 2013, two bombers killed a combined 34 people in attacks on a railway station and a trolleybus in Volgograd.

The group Islamic State, also known as ISIS, claimed responsibility for the attacks Friday at the Crocus City Hall venue.

President Vladimir Putin is thinking of those injured in today’s attack and thanked doctors, a Russian government official said according to state media.

Russia's Ministry of Internal Affairs and the security agency FSB are continuing to investigate, the committee said in a statement, and weapons and ammunition have been found.

U.S. warned Russia about planned terrorist attack in Moscow, NSC says

Monica Alba

The United States shared information about a potential terrorist attack in Moscow with Russia’s government earlier this month, a spokesperson for the National Security Council said.

The U.S. Embassy in Russia on March 7 warned U.S. citizens to avoid crowds and said it was monitoring reports that extremists might attack large gatherings in Moscow.

“Earlier this month, the U.S. Government had information about a planned terrorist attack in Moscow — potentially targeting large gatherings, to include concerts — which prompted the State Department to issue a public advisory to Americans in Russia,” NSC spokesperson Adrienne Watson said.

“The U.S. Government also shared this information with Russian authorities in accordance with its longstanding ‘duty to warn’ policy,” Watson said.

Putin recently dismissed ‘provocative’ warning about potential attacks

In remarks that aired three days ago, Russian President Vladimir Putin accused the West of “provocative statements” about potential terror attacks in Russia, and dismissed them.

“I’ll remind you of recent, let’s say directly, provocative statements of certain official Western structures about potential terror attacks in Russia,” Putin said.

“All of this looks like obvious blackmail and an attempt to intimidate, destabilize our country,” he said before the state security agency FSB.

Putin in those remarks did not specify a country or warning. The U.S. embassy in Russia on March 7 warned U.S. citizens to avoid crowds .

“The Embassy is monitoring reports that extremists have imminent plans to target large gatherings in Moscow, to include concerts, and U.S. citizens should be advised to avoid large gatherings over the next 48 hours,” the U.S. embassy warned.

Guards at the concert hall didn’t have guns, and some could have been killed at the start of the attack, Russian media reported.

U.S. had been gathering intelligence that ISIS could attack Russia

Ken Dilanian

The U.S. had been gathering intelligence for months that ISIS could mount a mass casualty attack in Russia, two U.S. officials confirmed to NBC News.

That information led to a March 7 warning issued by the U.S. embassy in Russia about possible extremist attacks, including at concerts, urging people to stay away from large gatherings, one of the officials said.

That official said the claim of responsibility today by ISIS appears to be genuine, though no final assessment had been made about who was responsible.

Some Moscow concertgoers filmed events as they unfolded Friday night, when gunmen opened fire inside a theater and people ran to take cover in fear for their lives.

Witness says gunfire was first thought to be construction noise

A witness to today’s armed attack on Moscow’s Crocus City Hall told a state news agency that they first mistook the gunfire for sounds of an installation being dismantled.

“First, we started hearing typical loud pops, but it was impossible to understand that they were gunshots. We thought that something was falling, as exhibitions were being dismantled at that moment, and someone seemed to be dropping something large,” Mikhail Semyonov told TASS .

“Then, the bangs were getting more and more frequent. Suddenly, there was a scream, and the bangs started to be heard as bursts. Then it became clear that it was shooting,” he said.

ISIS claims responsibility for attack but does not provide proof

The terror group Islamic State has claimed responsibility for the attack in Moscow.

The group, also known as ISIS, did not provide any proof of its claim, which came from ISIS-affiliated news agency Amaq on Telegram.

The group’s members have carried out a number of terror attacks, including the 2015 attacks in Paris that killed 130 people.

Asked whether the shooting was at all tied to the war in Ukraine, U.S. National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby said: “There is no indication at this time that Ukraine, or Ukrainians, were involved in the shooting, but again, this just broke. We’re taking a look at it, but I would disabuse you at this early hour have any connection to Ukraine.”
