About Volbeat
Hailing from Copenhagen, Denmark, Volbeat has carved out a truly unique niche in the global music scene since their formation in 2001. Led by the charismatic Michael Poulsen on vocals and guitar, alongside Jon Larsen on drums, Rob Caggiano on lead guitar, and Kaspar Boye Larsen on bass, the band’s sound is an electrifying fusion often dubbed “Elvis metal.” They masterfully blend heavy metal aggression with rockabilly swing, punk rock attitude, and classic rock ‘n’ roll swagger, creating a style that is instantly recognisable and immensely appealing.
Their journey from underground darlings to international headliners has been propelled by a string of critically acclaimed albums, each pushing the boundaries of their distinctive sound. Early releases like “The Strength/The Sound/The Songs” and “Rock the Rebel/Metal the Devil” laid the groundwork, but it was albums such as “Beyond Hell/Above Heaven” (featuring hits like “Still Counting”) and “Outlaw Gentlemen & Shady Ladies” (with “Lola Montez”) that truly cemented their global appeal. Volbeat has garnered multiple Grammy nominations and consistently packed arenas worldwide, testament to their unwavering dedication and powerful songwriting. Their live shows are legendary, showcasing the band’s incredible musicianship and Poulsen’s engaging stage presence. Expect a masterclass in modern heavy metal with a vintage twist, delivered by a band at the peak of their powers.
