Groezrock, SBÄM Fest, Punk In Drublic, Brakrock & Punk Rock Holiday.
Each year those festivals become home to some of the most famous punk bands. And naturally the bands and a lot of labels sell their merch over the course of the festivals. FAT have been a fixture with their own booth since 2015 at Groezrock and have been releasing festival themed 10″ compilations ever since. Quickly more themed 10” comps, as well as some Flexi sets and 12” to be sold at other festivals followed.
In 2017 however, Fat Wreck Chords had the brilliant idea of expanding festival offerings by releasing records exclusively through their merch booth at European festivals, the Euro Store Editions. These are proper FAT releases with their own signature Euro Store center labels. You can also find other, similar characteristics that apply to the original Fat Store exclusives – a different (exclusive) color and a very low pressing number (mostly around 100). They aptly called it ‘Fat Euro Store’ and these are the records available from there…
