Norwegian powerhouse Bokassa returns to the stage with new album “Anomalies” in 2027! The powertrio are embarking on a tour all through Europe, UK and their native Norway to celebrate their fifth full length. The band's nonstop blend of different subgenres in punk, metal and rock, into their own stonerpunk, has seen the band touring with bands as diverse as Clutch, Lagwagon, Therapy? and Mastodon. The same genre blending has also made them hard to pigeonhole. In a world where people tend to like bands and artists that sound quite similar to other bands and artists they like - Bokassa sound mostly like themselves. Not one to be bothered by trends, masks, matching outfits or whatever else that seems to be popular, Bokassa aim to please themselves more than anything. Still they've managed to try deep fried pizza in Scotland, cheese fondue in the Alps, several different sorts of soda and also play some of the world's biggest festivals like Wacken, Download and Hellfest. And of course tour with Metallica. In 2019 they were picked from complete obscurity by Lars Ulrich to support Metallica in stadiums all over Europe, UK and Russia. Ulrich hailed them as "his favourite new band" and described them as "Insanely fucking cool" after hearing the trios first album Divide & Conquer.

Since then they’ve been nominated for a Norwegian Grammy, won the prestigious Bendiksenprisen from their fellow Norwegian musicians, for their excellent live performances, and released four more albums.“Count on Bokassa to keep serving up absolute bangers,” Kerrang's Sam Law wrote in his review of 2024's “All Out of Dreams”. The record sees the band further expand their self patented brand of stoner punk into a hook-laden Molotov Rocktail of punk, hardcore, metal, and rock, or as Knotfest put it “This album is a testament to the band's knack for creating anthems that are both rebellious and catchy.” The brand new album “Anomalies” takes it even further and is produced by none other than two time Grammy winner Adrian Bushby (Foo Fighters, Muse, The Darkness) and mastered by George Perks (Enter Shikari, Skindred) and hits stores on vinyl, CD and stream 12. March 2027. Get your tickets and join us in celebrating their new album live!
