Open Season is the band you know at least three songs by without even realizing it. They wrote the unofficial 2016 European Championship song, which was later reworked and became the official song of the Berner Young Boys soccer club.
Now this rocksteady institution is ushering in a new era. For their new album, the band has teamed up with Dr. Mo to release contemporary songs that create beautiful moments in difficult times. Anthems of togetherness, pumping beats for carefree hours on the dance floor, shimmering tracks brimming with positive energy.
Live, the band is better than ever. Open Season brings a power to the stage that has been forged in many clubs, in many countries, over many years. The band has been co-led by women since 2000 and has always brought diverse identities to the stage. At every festival where they perform, they’re the surprise hit that no one saw coming.
Jahcoustix (solo) is a German reggae singer-songwriter who will celebrate his 25th anniversary on stage in 2026 with his 10th studio album, “Footsteps.” This cosmopolitan artist spent most of his childhood and youth in Africa, where he discovered reggae at the age of 14. In the late ’90s, Jahcoustix returned to Germany and, in the years that followed, became part of Europe’s thriving reggae scene, thereby making his dream a reality.
Already with the release of his debut album (2003), his music found an audience far beyond his country’s borders. In the years that followed, Jahcoustix performed at festivals such as the famous Montreux Jazz Festival, as well as at Rock am Ring and Rock im Park, and embarked on extensive tours in Africa, the U.S., South America, and New Zealand. To date, Jahcoustix has released eight studio albums and various singles (including “World Citizen” feat. Shaggy) and has also collaborated on songs with some of his biggest idols (including Israel Vibration, Horace Andy, and Akae Beka).
