Yesterday was once again a day to take every piece of news on social media and in magazines with a grain of salt - including ours! Because yes, our post about the set times at our Impericon Festival 2025 was, of course, an April Fools’ joke. By the way, you can still grab your tickets here.

But some of our festival guests also gave their best shot at fooling you. From Kanonenfieber to The Butcher Sisters, a few April Fools’ stories were making the rounds. Even festivals and music magazines joined in - so take a look and see which ones you caught yesterday!

Kanonenfieber

Disappointment all around – Kanonenfieber did not reveal their faces after all. Looks like we’ll have to keep waiting for the real face reveal... Instead they gave us a Donnerbalken photo in the meantime.

Behemoth

In line with their upcoming album The Shit Ov God, this Behemoth toilet paper might not have been such a bad idea. Who knows – maybe they’ll come back to it someday.

The Butcher Sisters

...are obviously not kicking Alex out of the band. But we would have loved to see that talent show play out. Where’s our late-night reality drama, TBS-style, on RTL2?

MoreCore

Be honest – would you have bought the Bring Me The Horizon energy drinks? MoreCore even teased the two flavors in such a convincing way...

Wacken Open Air

Bike locks with hellish numerical codes that are unbreakable? Cool concept, questionable execution.
