the Clinker

Heineken2026


The Clinker is a tech-enabled Bluetooth band that wraps around Heineken glasses or cans, letting people clink drinks to exchange contacts and instantly see how well their music tastes match via color-coded feedback on the band. It positions Heineken as the spark for real-life social connections, using shared music taste as a natural conversation starter to help people break the ice at festivals and events.

As seen at Coachella, Nameless, and NOS ALIVE in 2026.
