"Triggerfinger"

A new album, a new tour – the beginning of a new era. 2025 marked another milestone for the Antwerp-based band Triggerfinger, whose career now spans 25 years. Last autumn, just a few days after the release of their first new song since 2017, the tragic death of their iconic bassist Monsieur Paul shook the band. Paul had already left the band in 2023 due to health reasons, but remained a close friend and brother to Mario and Ruben.

"Stars" was enthusiastically received by both old and new fans, opening new doors. With a tour consisting of 25 dates, the band returned to the international live stage – with great success, as most shows were sold out. While "Stars" still showed a clear connection to Triggerfinger's earlier sound, the second single "Come Clean" (released in January 2026) surprised friends and critics alike with a new sonic landscape, signaling a shift in the band's musical DNA.

Before the summer of 2026, the band will release two more songs and prepare for their first extensive summer festival tour in a long time. But above all, in September, a long-awaited new studio album will finally be released – the first since "Colossus" (2017) and thus the first official album without Monsieur Paul. For the recordings, Ruben and Mario traveled to Los Angeles, where they were welcomed by Mitchell Froom. Froom is no stranger to Triggerfinger. In the new recordings, he played a central role, encouraging Mario and Ruben to step out of their comfort zone, explore new compositional paths, and venture into the unknown without a clear goal.

With the new album, Triggerfinger shows that they are back – stronger than ever – and prove that they are among the few genuine European rock bands that have outlasted trends and fads.

On stage, one can expect the familiar – but different.

On bass now stands the outstanding musician Geoffrey Burton. He has played with greats such as Arno, Grace Jones, Iggy Pop, and the (deceased) Portuguese Fado singer Misia. Fun fact: Just like Monsieur Paul, Geoffrey is originally a brilliant guitarist – and brings his own unique approach to the bass.

Triggerfinger's new album will be released via HUFTER Recordings / Sony Music Entertainment Benelux & Europe, as well as via VERYCORDS in Paris for France.

The title and release date will be announced on May 22.
