Så er der godt nyt på Volbeat-fronten! Efter mange rygter er det nu helt sikkert, at danske Volbeat vil joine Mustain og resten af Megadeth på den amerikanske Gigantour 2012. Og som om det ikke er nok er også Motörhead og Lacuna Coil at finde på plakaten til Gigantouren 2012!

Michael Poulsen udtaler om Gigantouren 2012: “This is something you don’t think twice about; it’s a must and a blessing. They [Megadeth and Motörhead] are two of the world’s biggest/best and most important bands in heavy rock history. Since the beginning, Megadeth and Motörhead have been a huge inspiration of my/our musical careers.  To have the opportunity to go on the road and share the stage with these two legendary rock bands, is another dream come true in the Volbeat adventure. We are very thankful and cannot wait to play in front of these two legendary bands’ audience for some intense minutes of Volbeat rock!”

Megadeth er netop klar med deres 13ende udgivelse TH1RT3EN og tager på tour i Sydamerika i hele november før Gigantour begynder i Cambden d 26/1 2012.

Om Gigantour vil komme til Europa vides endnu ikke, men vi vil forsøge at holde jer alle opdateret! HORNS!

Volbeat og resten af bandsne vil kunne opleves på følgende datoer:
