THE BUTCHER SISTERS
“The Black Album” will be presented at an autograph session in the EMP Store Dortmund.
and announce an exclusive show limited to 300 tickets!

Following “The White Album” comes “The Black Album” (release date: January 23, 2026). If you’re thinking this is a sudden washing error, you’re mistaken: THE BUTCHER SISTERS (TBS) are simply continuing their color palette. The EMP Store Dortmund is therefore delighted to welcome the band, known for their frenetic fusion of metal and German rap, to an autograph session with their brand-new album on January 29, 2026. And because TBS never do things by halves, an exclusive club concert will follow that same evening at FZW Dortmund with a strictly limited number of 300 tickets, available exclusively as a bundle with an exclusive “Red/Black Marbled” vinyl record from EMP Exclusive Merchandise Products.

The band is not only continuing a successful collaboration but also building on an eventful year: In January 2025, TBS’s third studio album, “Das Weiße Album” (The White Album), climbed directly to number 11 on the Official German Album Charts – a remarkable success that was already evident at the release event in the EMP Store Leipzig: Over 100 fans came for the autograph session before heading to the sold-out concert at Täubchenthal. In March 2025, another special highlight followed: a “Members Only” concert for members of the EMP Backstage Club at Matrix Bochum, which once again demonstrated how closely TBS connects with their community.

With “The Black Album,” the Butcher Sisters are now taking a bold step onto the dark side of the color palette – naturally, with their usual tongue-in-cheek humor. Fans can look forward to fresh songs, memorable encounters at the signing session, and an energetic live set in the evening. And to make the experience even more perfect, the 300 fans with concert tickets will be treated to a meet & greet with TBS in a relaxed club atmosphere after the show at Dortmund’s FZW.

THE BUTCHER SISTERS signing session at the EMP Store Dortmund
When: Friday, January 29, 2026
Where: Potgasse 4
Time: 4:30 PM – 5:30 PM

“The Black Album” is available exclusively at EMP as a “Red/Black Marbled” vinyl edition bundled with concert tickets. It will also be available there in a liquid edition, a “Pipi Kaka” edition, and a “Sparkle Universe” edition, as well as on CD. Along with a wide range of merchandise, the album can be purchased not only in the EMP online shop but also at the store in Dortmund, where fans can have their copies signed by their five rapcore idols right before the show.
Presale for the exclusive vinyl/ticket bundle starts on Monday, December 1st at EMP.de. Anyone who doesn’t want to miss this special concert in a small, undoubtedly wonderfully sweaty setting should hurry!

Record-breaking announcement! 55 new bands confirmed for the 35th Anniversary of Wacken Open Air

Wacken, November 26th 2025 – We’ve got news that rock even harder than the Scorpions‘ famous Hurricane: For the first time in history Wacken Open Air is announcing 55 bands at once! Today’s announcement might even stun the most experienced metalheads: 55 new bands confirmed for W:O:A – a massive load of diverse music and full-on live energy to ensure an unforgettable festival week. At the forefront are true icons of the scene: Judas Priest, one of the most influential bands in Heavy Metal ever, will return to the Holy Ground in 2026. During a career spanning over five decades the band fronted by Rob Halford created everlasting hymns without which the entire genre would sound different. Legends.

Arch Enemy have been playing at Wacken Open Air since the beginnings of their 30-year-career. So it just feels right to have them be a part of the upcoming anniversary edition. Get ready for a Melodic Death Metal masterclass!

Another highlight from the world of riffs: Black Label Society, lead by guitar giant Zakk Wylde, who once rose to fame by the side of Ozzy Osbourne and is known for his distinctive sound, gripping stage presence and fervent play.

Fans that are looking forward to brute force will be happy to hear that Hatebreed will return to the W:O:A as well. A household name for uncompromising Hardcore and steadfast live power since the 90s.

German heavyweights Hämatom look back on over two decades of band history and have secured themselves a safe spot in the hearts of metalheads at the Holy Ground. Now, they’ve polished their masks for a return to Wacken once more.

Two more living legends will grace the lineup: Swedish guitar virtuoso Yngwie Malmsteen as well as Nita Strauss, best known for also lending her shredding prowess in Alice Cooper’s band.

While honoring its roots, given the 35th Anniversary, W:O:A will at the same time embrace new currents of the Heavy Metal river and gets ready for some true party escalation: Electric Callboy will bring their new DJ project Electric Bassboy to the Holy Ground for the first time!

SUBLIME ANNOUNCES “SUBLIME ME GUSTA” MUSIC FESTIVAL –

A MULTI-CITY CELEBRATION OF REGGAE, PUNK ROCK, HIP-HOP AND THE SPIRIT OF SUBLIME

INAUGURAL EVENT KICKS OFF MAY 9 IN

FORT WORTH, TEXAS AT PANTHER ISLAND PAVILION

NOVEMBER 25, 2025 – Legendary Southern California band Sublime is proud to announce the launch of their very own touring music festival, Sublime Me Gusta, debuting in Fort Worth, Texas on Saturday, May 9, 2026 at the scenic Panther Island Pavilion. This groundbreaking new event marks the beginning of a national festival series built around the timeless sound, spirit, and cultural impact of Sublime. Taking its name from the iconic lyric “Me gusta mi reggae, me gusta punk rock” from the song “Caress Me Down,” the festival embodies everything Sublime stands for: sun-soaked vibes, rebellious spirit, and a love for music without boundaries. Tickets for Sublime Me Gusta Festival are on sale now at www.MeGustaFest.com. Tickets start at $89.99 for General Admission.

For this historic inaugural celebration, Sublime will be joined by their long-time friends and fellow icons, Slightly Stoopid, uniting two of the most influential bands in the punk–reggae–rock world on one stage. Fans can expect an immersive day of live music, community, and good vibes as Sublime Me Gusta makes its debut in Texas. The full festival lineup will be announced in the coming weeks. The festival will also offer craft beer sampling as a $15.99 add-on purchase for those 21+, showcasing the best local, regional, and national craft beer, hard seltzer, and cider from Noon to 3:00 PM. 

Sublime Me Gusta Festival is co-produced by Sublime and Brew Ha Ha Productions, one of the nation’s premier independent festival producers known for delivering world-class, artist-curated experiences across the country. Together, Sublime and BHHP aim to create an unforgettable festival environment celebrating the music and culture that have inspired generations.

Sublime Me Gusta Festival 2026 Dates:

·                May 9 — Fort Worth, TX • with Slightly Stoopid supporting

·                June 27 — Oregon (City and Venue TBA)

Each stop will feature a lineup hand-picked to represent the crossroads of reggae and punk — blending the laid-back grooves and the high-voltage attitude that have always been at the heart of Sublime. Fans can expect full-day events packed with live performances, local vendors, art, food, drinks, and exclusive Sublime experiences designed to bring the culture to life.

“It’s always been our dream to put on a Festival for our friends and family,” says Jakob Nowell, front man of Sublime. “It’s punk rock, hip hop, reggae, surf — all facets of true west coast alternative culture that has been kept alive for generations by fans and musicians alike. This is our era now and we got nothing but love for everyone coming with us.” 

“As someone who lives in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, I couldn’t be more excited to launch the first-ever Sublime Me Gusta Festival right in our own backyard,” said event co-producer Cameron Collins of Brew Ha Ha Productions. “Sublime and Slightly Stoopid are two of the most influential bands of our generation and bringing them together for this new festival is something truly special. Fort Worth is the perfect place to kick off Sublime Me Gusta, and we can’t wait to share the full experience with everyone.”

Following their record-breaking 2025 comeback and a wave of sold-out shows, Sublime Me Gusta Festival represents the next evolution of Sublime’s story — a chance to connect with fans in a setting built around the community, sound, and freedom that the band has always represented. 2026 is shaping up to be the biggest year yet for Sublime as they celebrate the 30th anniversary of their self-titled album with two special nights at Red Rocks Amphitheatre, April 17 and 18, marking the kickoff of a year-long celebration honoring the 1996 groundbreaking album. Their highly anticipated new album, Till The Sun Explodes, is also set to be released in early 2026. The band recently made history with the breakout single “Ensenada,” which spent seven consecutive weeks at #1 on the Billboard Alternative Airplay chart, setting the record for the longest run at #1 on alternative radio in 2025. The forthcoming album marks an exciting new chapter for Sublime while honoring the legacy that has inspired fans for more than three decades.

About Sublime

Sublime, the Long Beach, CA reggae-punk/alternative rock trio, was founded in 1988 by Eric Wilson, Bud Gaugh and Bradley Nowell. They released their first self-produced album, 40oz. to Freedom, in 1992 via Skunk Records. Heavy radio exposure on Southern California’s KROQ (two years after its initial release) landed the band a deal with Gasoline Alley Records, an imprint of MCA.

1994’s Robbin’ the Hood revealed an experimental ethic more in keeping with the cut-and-paste dub than the well-tuned rage of the Cali punk revival. The album performed well at college radio and set the stage for the breakout success of their self-titled third album. On May 25, 1996, however, Bradley Nowell tragically passed away and the band collapsed, but Universal went ahead with the release of their eponymous album in July of 1996.

On the strength of the chart-topping alternative radio hit “What I Got,” the RIAA certified the album gold by the end of 1996. The undeniable radio hits “Santeria” and “Wrong Way” followed, resulting in the album selling more than 9 million copies without any live shows. This success spread to the band’s earlier albums, leading 40oz. to Freedom to double-platinum status and Robbin’ the Hood to gold. Sublime has gone on to sell over 18 million RIAA certified albums in the US. Their genre-defining contributions to music and cultural influence is stronger today than ever before.

In late December of 2023, Bradley Nowell’s son Jakob Nowell joined original Sublime members Bud Gaugh and Eric Wilson on stage for the first time to perform at a benefit concert for Bad Brains’ H.R. With an undeniable musical synergy between the three, and overwhelming reaction and support from fans across the world, they decided to move forward and continue the Sublime legacy, starting the new chapter fans had hoped would one day come. Just five months later, Sublime officially debuted their new lineup on the main stage at Coachella in April 2024, garnering rave reviews from press and fans across the world, solidifying the next chapter age of Sublime with Jakob Nowell at the helm.

In May of 2024 the band released their first new song in nearly 28 years, “Feel Like That,” which peaked at #5 and earned Sublime their first top 10 hit on the alternative airplay chart since 1997. Sublime also made their late-night television debut on the Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and appeared on the Howard Stern Show.

Sublime continued writing the next chapter in the band’s storied history in 2025. Their single “Ensenada” became the band’s first #1 hit since their iconic 1996 single “What I Got,” setting a new record for the longest gap between #1s in the Billboard’s Alternative Airplay chart’s history. The band has delivered standout performances at major music festivals across the globe, in addition to an exclusive acoustic set at New York City’s Silver Lining Lounge, presented by the Lipps Service podcast. Sublime also headlined their own multi-day Las Vegas event, Fear, Loathing and Sublime in Las Vegas, celebrating the band’s cultural and musical impact. The band also made their national morning television debut on NBC’s TODAY Show with a live performance of “Ensenada.”

Sublime are currently managed by Regime Music Group co-founder Kevin Zinger and music industry vet/Vandals bassist Joe Escalante.
