KISS FEST IS COMING

By Steven Potter, 8 April 2020

Although we may not be enjoying festivals the same way this year, there are some ways we can still get into the vibe. And thankfully, our friends over at KISS – that’s KISS, KISSTORY and KISS Fresh – are putting on KISS Fest, AKA the biggest radio rave ever. That’s 33 hours of massive radio DJ sets including beats from Calvin Harris, David Guetta, Jax Jones, and loads, loads more acts.

Because KISS is serving up the soundtrack to your long weekend, we thought we’d put together a look to really get you in the mood. We’re talking bold colours and clashing prints (you know, the festival usual), teamed with some on-point accessories.

A moving gif of a festival outfit against a changing background of forest, desert and bright-blue skies. The outfit features a multicoloured track jacket, bright-yellow vest, grey Champion joggers, black Birkenstock sandals and purple-flame-print socks. All available at ASOS.

This wild outfit is 50% Y2K-inspired waviness, and 50% dad-chilling-at-the-weekend – and we’re 100% into it. As if that rave-ready kaleidoscopic windbreaker wasn’t quite bright enough, we've added a canary-yellow string vest underneath. There aren’t many opportunities to represent such a duo, but a 33-hour bank-holiday party seems like a pretty good one, right?

On to more dadcore territory now, albeit with a more credible, streetwear edge courtesy of those comfy AF Champion joggers. And pair Birkenstock sandals with socks from a 2003 skate video and suddenly, we’re adding the unlikely duo to our baskets, like, right now.

So, there you have it: a few starters-for-ten for putting your own festival vibe together. And don’t forget to tune into KISS, KISSTORY and KISS Fresh from 3pm on Friday 10th April via FM or DAB Radio, KISSFMUK.COM, Smart Speaker or the official KISS KUBE App.
