Volbeat & Anthrax On The Road In 2015

Ladies and gentlemen, we present you with a new U.S/Canada tour from the one and only Volbeat. After wrapping a co-bill tour with Five Finger Death Punch last week, the Danish metal band has planned its own headline excursion with Anthrax serving as direct support.  

In addition to touring the U.K. in November, Volbeat is spending the next several months working on its sixth studio album. Its most recent LP is 2013’s Outlaw Gentlemen & Shady Ladies. The track “Room 24” (featuring King Diamond) earned the quartet its first Grammy nomination in the “best metal performance” category.
