Triggerfinger - Set for the 'Colossus' tour
Antwerp’s Triggerfinger will be returning to the UK in October, following the release of their brand new album ‘Colossus’ which is due out on the 25th of August via their new home Mascot Records (Black stone Cherry, Black country Communion, Monster Truck, Big Jesus, Shaman’s Harvest). The Belgian based trio (Ruben Block, vocals & guitar; Paul Van Bruystegem, bass; Mario Goossens, drums) have been exploding across Europe and have played an intensive two hundred shows in the last twenty months, which also saw them support Muse on their sold out 50,000 capacity Stadium show in Aix-les-Bains, France and Park Live festival in Russia.
Insatiable for the live stage they have opened for Red hot chili Peppers, The Rolling Stones (twice), Within Temptation, Thin Lizzy, Clutch, Big Sugar and Therapy?. They were asked to step in at Pinkpop to replace the mighty Foo Fighters who pulled out with Dave Grohl injured and they’ve sold out the eight thousand capacity Vorst in Brussels, the Paradiso in Amsterdam an impressive ten times as well as the six thousand capacity Heinkenen Music Hall. They also performed in the boxing ring during the heavyweight title fight between Wladimir Klitschko (UKR) and Tony Thompson (USA) at Stade de Suisse in Bern, Switzerland which was broadcast across the World, including screens on Broadway – check out the performance here.

After four studio albums 'Triggerfinger' (2004), 'What grabs Ya' (2008), the platinum selling Belgian No.2 'All this dancing Around' (2010) which included the No.1 hit ‘I follow Rivers’ that has had thirty million plus combined Spotify plays YouTube views and the gold No.1 'By absence of the Sun' (2014), the collaboration with Wu Tang Clan’s Method Man on the stomping one off single ‘The One’ last year and the massive touring, it was time for a change. While writing 'Colossus' Triggerfinger wanted to add a few new flavors to the mix. 'Colossus' will be released on August 25th 2017, and will be Triggerfinger’s first album with new label Mascot Records / Mascot Label Group.
