some shows don’t feel polished—they feel raw, loud, and a little chaotic in the best way.

that’s what Stumpfest has always been.

three nights at Mississippi Studios in Portland, april 23–25, 2026—small room energy, packed crowd, sweat, noise, and that feeling like anything could happen once the set actually starts. no distance between band and audience, no barrier between sound and reaction—just everything happening at once.

and that’s where the real memories come from.

the Stumpfest XI Concert Poster at Mississippi Studios in Portland OR on April 23–25 2026 Two Sides Unisex Tee carries that exact atmosphere. front and back design like a full show recap—date, place, energy—all locked into something you don’t just remember, you recognize instantly if you were there.

because shows like this don’t live in highlight reels.

they live in details—how loud it felt in a small space, how close everything was, how the set didn’t feel structured so much as it felt alive. that’s why pieces like this matter. they’re not just merch—they’re timestamps, proof you were part of something that doesn’t scale up or repeat the same way again.

and that’s always been part of live music culture.

from DIY shows to festival runs, merch becomes memory. something you keep long after the sound fades, especially in scenes where the connection between crowd and band is everything, not just the performance itself (phishmerchs.com)

this piece holds onto that.

not just a design—but the feeling of three nights in Portland where everything felt close, loud, and real in a way bigger stages don’t always capture.
