Summary
- BBC 6 Music celebrates its 19th annual T-Shirt Day on September 17th.
- Listeners share band T-shirt photos using #TShirtDay for song requests.
- Huw Stephens hosts a special Indie-focused show on Drivetime.
For the 19th consecutive year, BBC 6 Music is dedicating an entire day to celebrating the cultural significance of band T-shirts. On Thursday, September 17th, the station will host its annual T-Shirt Day, encouraging listeners to showcase their favorite band tees. The simple yet engaging concept involves participants sharing a photograph of their shirt on social media with the hashtag #TShirtDay. This act serves as a request for a song by the artist or band featured on the garment.
The event, themed 'Spill the TEE' this year, aims to uncover the personal narratives connected to these iconic pieces of clothing. Listeners are invited to share the stories behind their shirts, whether they recall a life-changing gig, a memorable festival experience, or a band discovered through 6 Music. The celebration will broadcast live from 7 am to 7 pm.
During the Drivetime slot, the focus will shift entirely to the Indie genre. Huw Stephens will present a special show, broadcast live from 4 pm, dedicated exclusively to Indie music powered by listeners' Indie band T-shirts. Stephens will also be joined by guests for his traditional T-shirt battle segment, adding an extra layer of excitement to the Indie celebration.
