Hello Rebels + Angels!

Our European summer tour has come to an end and what an amazing journey it's been. We barely touched down from a short stint to Japan, before we got on stage at one of Germany's New festivals, Rockenheim, where we were greeted by 35,000 fans. What an awesome crowd you were and a great real music event. On to Rock im Pott, the very last of our European summer festivals. We had looked forward to this day for a while, since our first live chat with our fans was awaiting us. The guys at the label had managed to persuade Ray Cokes to come in and host the chat and he turned out be awesome. We simply had a blast speaking with you guys, so we're hoping to be able to do this soon again. Thanks to everyone who signed up and was part of this. It was a first for the band but it turned out to be a great, great thing.

Now North America awaits us. We headline The Rock Allegiance Tour with HIM, All That Remains and Airbourne. First show is in St. Paul, MN this Friday, then we criss cross the continent and finish off in style in Brooklyn, New York on September 28. This tour will be Volbeat's last north American activity in 2013 - then we head back to the UK (long time comin'...) and Europe for our indoor theatre and arena run - which, by the way, has just been extended with three German dates; Karlsruhe, Frankfurt and Cologne are now on the tour map! See dates below. Presale for these three cities is up via www.eventim.de today and general sales start wednesday.

Thanks to all of you for making this summer a very special one for us - and if you didn't make it out in the heat, we look forward to seeing you out there this fall!
