About us
Forbidden Merch started in 2012
Our journey began on the grandest stage possible—starting with Madonna’s stadium tour, followed immediately by Coldplay. Since those first milestones, we’ve never slowed down. Today, Forbidden Merch is the trusted partner for the industry’s biggest players. In 2026, our portfolio spans from Direct-to-Consumer (D2C) services for Universal Music Portugal to immersive fan experiences like the Iron Maiden ‘Eddie’s Bar’ Pop-Up, the Harry Potter Exhibition, and major festivals like Primavera Sound Porto, MEO Kalorama, Afronation as well as many live shows at arenas, stadiums and outdoor events.
