The big review: Wacken Open Air 2025
The Mud! The Sweat! The Beers! Papa Roach, Machine Head, Gojira and Guns N’ Roses lead the charge at a wet and wild edition of Europe’s biggest heavy metal party...
Mimi Barks has announced a nine-date UK tour with SWARM6IX, and there’s promise of a new EP next year, too…
Mimi Barks has revealed details of a 2026 headline tour.
The doom trap star will hit Swansea, Plymouth, Nottingham, Newcastle, Glasgow, Sheffield, Manchester and London in the spring, with support from SWARM6IX. And that’s not all that’s going on…
“I went silent because something was taken from me,” Mimi explains. “My album, stolen by the person I created it with. But defeat isn’t the downfall, it’s an obstacle, and obstacles sharpen the mind. What was lost became fuel. Transform pain into creation, shape something from nothing. Expression is the purpose.
“I return with new music, a new EP in 2026 and a flood of new visuals forged from the aftermath. Not a replacement, but a rebirth. A new era begins now.
“Heavier. Clearer. Uncompromised. I’m looking forward to being back in the UK to celebrate new beginnings…”
