Last night, Dr. Martens launched their highly anticipated new store with Chelmsford’s very own cheeky chappy Rat Boy headlining a night of raucous celebration.

With support from neighbouring Southend band Suspects, the punk-inspired duo warmed the crowd with gritty, grunge sounds, playing rowdily to a crowd who were eager to welcome them into the brand new store.

Next up headline act Ray Boy and his band paid homage to Dr. Marten’s long-time commitment to music with a loud and eruptive amalgamation of hip hop and indie music, topped with an unfiltered rock attitude, which echoed through Bond Street, making the launch a night to remember for Chelmsford’s local community.

The Chelmsford store will also offer further community based events and meet-ups in the following weeks, working with a range of diverse individuals from the surrounding community. More details to be announced soon.

The Dr. Marten’s Chelmsford store is now open on Unit 3, 72 Bond Street, CM1 1BE
