“We’d Like to Make It Big Before We Die!” Cocotte Minute Hit the Road for a Massive Autumn Tour with Post-it and Anteater

No compromises, just pure energy, crushing riffs and lyrics that shy away from nothing. Nu-metal stalwarts Cocotte Minute have no plans to slow down after a packed festival season, including the Rock In series. Led by charismatic frontman Zeller, the band have announced an autumn club tour under the provocative title Rádi bychom se proslavili, než umřeme Tour .

The 13-date run across the Czech Republic promises fans an experience that will put the structural integrity of every club to the test. The tour kicks off on October 16 in Třebíč and wraps up on December 11 at Prague's Palác Akropolis. At most shows, the band will be joined by their longtime friends Post-it and Anteater, who will alternate throughout the tour, with both appearing together in Plzeň and Prague. In Kolín, Cocotte Minute will share the stage with legendary Slovak outfit Horkýže Slíže.

"Post-It are longtime friends of ours. We started out together, and now we're happy to take them on a little road trip. The first and last tour of the Czech Republic we did with them was 19 years ago. And on top of that, they've just managed to hack E2, with the single 'Geronimo' tearing up the charts there," says CM Zeller, introducing the first of the two support acts.

As for the second, he adds: "Anteater took part in the competition for Zllucerna. They came second, so we decided to take them along on the tour anyway. And Andrea is a truly extraordinary presence on the Czech music scene. We're happy to support her and introduce her to our fans."

Cocotte Minute have long ranked among the absolute best of the Czech crossover and nu-metal scene. They are renowned for their uncompromising live shows, where the line between stage and audience practically disappears. The autumn run will feature both long-standing anthems such as Můj čas, Czeko and Kopem, as well as fresh material — including one or two tracks from the band's upcoming album, due out next year.

"Right after the tour, I'm going in for vocal cord surgery. More than 20 years of screaming over the noise we make has taken its toll. I hope the surgery goes well, but it might not, so this could be my last tour," Zeller reveals in advance. "I intend to enjoy this tour more than ever. So come out and help us make it count!" the Cocotte Minute frontman urges his fans.

Zeller has never been one to spare his vocal cords, which is why he will have to undergo surgery next year. That makes the upcoming run potentially his final tour — so if you want to catch Cocotte Minute live, this is definitely not the time to wait around for tickets.

Cocotte Minute have been among the leading Czech rock and nu-metal bands since the early days of their career. Led by founding members Martin Zeller and Ondřej Czendál Voršilka, they released their successful debut album Czeko in 2004. Two years later, they followed it with Proti sobě, while 2009 and 2010 saw the release of the two-part album Sado Disco. After a five-year hiatus, during which the band went into hibernation, they returned in 2015 with the groundbreaking comeback release Rituál, kmen a srdce a kmen!. In 2018, they released the EP Veď mě. The turn of 2019 and 2020 was marked by celebrations of the 15th anniversary of their aforementioned debut. In 2021, the band dedicated themselves to the charity project Metal dětem, aimed at supporting single mothers. In 2022, they recorded several songs as an acoustic live session at the Czech Republic's tallest building and toured the country alongside Elektrïck Mann and Vojtaano. They gradually unveiled the singles Řeka and Černý šaty, as well as a cover of Milujem se čím dál víc, eventually bringing them together on the EP Zllá láska. The end of 2023 saw Cocotte Minute hit the road with Deloraine for the Ragnarock´n´roll tour. In October 2024, they released a best-of collection documenting their first two decades, accompanied by new videos for Veď mě! and Říkej si co chceš. At the end of 2025, they staged the biggest show of their career, COCOTTI V LUCERNĚ, successfully selling out the venue. In 2026, they held the fourth edition of their own Zllo Fest / Černý šaty festival.
