Volbeat has announced 15 U.S. headlining dates as part of its Rewind, Replay, Rebound world tour, bringing the trek to this country for the first time since the release of the Denmark-based band's seventh studio LP last August.
The tour kicks off on April 2nd in Tempe, Arizona, and will feature mostly headlining dates and a few radio festivals before winding down on May 13th in New York City. Clutch and the Picturebooks will serve as support. Ticket pre-sales begin on Tuesday (January 14th) and general on-sales begin Friday (January 17th) at 10:00 a.m. local time.
The band stated, “We can't wait to get back to the States and bring a full, headline-length Volbeat show to our U.S. fans, and we're beyond ecstatic to have our great friends in Clutch and our new friends in the Picturebooks joining us for the ride. We will see you very, very soon!”
We asked drummer Jon Larsen a while back why he thinks American audiences have embraced Volbeat for nearly a decade now: “We must have done something that has tickled the American audiences that makes them go nuts, I guess, but what it is, I really have no idea. Somebody told me a long time ago at a meet-and-greet or something like that, he says, 'Thank you so much for bringing American music back to us.' God knows what he meant by that, but maybe that's what people feels like.”
