Five Finger Death Punch & Volbeat In Autumn

Promising to be one of the biggest tours of the fall, Five Finger Death Punch and Volbeat will co-headline a road trip that includes special guest Hellyeah and opener Nothing More.  Presales and onsales launch this week.

The tour begins in Salt Lake City in mid-September and includes stops in Baltimore, Knoxville, Orlando and Biloxi as well as heartland towns such as Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and Bismarck, N.D.  Word is tour producer Frank Productions will announce more dates June 3.

There’s a lot of power to this tour with both headliners touting best-selling albums.  Five Finger Death Punch’s twin 2013 releases – The Wrong Side Of Heaven and The Righteous Side Of Hell – Volume 1 and Volume 2 received plenty of love from the charts.  Combined, both long players have sold more than 600,000 copies to date.

Volbeat’s 2013 release – Outlaw Gentlemen & Shady Ladies – has also been a top charter with Nielsen SoundScan reporting that fans scooped up more than 300,000 copies.  The band received a Grammy nom for “best metal performance” for the track “Room 24,” which featured King Diamond.
