An insider tip where you can have an informal „Meet & Greet“. You could be lucky enough to witness an in-store gig by a band as they stop over during the day before playing a sold out show on an evening. Names such as Brian Fallon, Frank Carter & The Rattlesnakes, Billy Bio, Anti-Flag, Judge, Marathonmann, Jaya the Cat, Swiss & Die Anderen, Slime and ZSK have all performed intimate shows, sharing a unique moment with their fans and the Coretex crew. For many of them it is also the chance to enjoy a Coretex beer with the team. Bands such as Rancid, First Blood, Sick Of It All, Turnstile or Integrity have also made a point of stopping by.
