Volbeat were originally scheduled to tour North America with Clutch and The Picturebooks. That tour would have originally stopped at The Rave in Milwaukee on May 9th but was postponed due to COVID-19. Now, the band have announced the official cancellation of the tour.
Hello Volfam!
We hate to be another band starting a post with “due to the current circumstances,” so instead we will say how much we were looking forward to the US headline leg of the Rewind, Replay, Rebound tour. Coming to see you in your hometowns with a full-length Volbeat set and getting to play alongside Clutch and The Picturebooks, two amazing bands we are lucky enough to call friends, was going to be a major highlight for the band. We, alongside our team, the local promoters and venues have all been working hard to try to reschedule these shows but as the timing for the safe return of live events is still unclear, we feel it is best to cancel the tour.
Again, we can’t say enough how much we were looking forward to this run, and we will make plans to be back in North America as soon as it is safe for stages to open back up.
Please keep an eye on your inboxes as you will soon be receiving information about ticket refunds from your point of purchase.’In the meantime, please continue to stay safe, take care of yourselves and each other, and we’ll see each other again as soon as we can.

Cutter recently spoke with Volbeat bassist Kasper Boye Larson about the band’s new album and his hopes to reschedule this tour.
“There was actually talk about rescheduling the whole tour for the fall but I don’t think those plans are not around anymore cause we don’t know when we are able to fly to the US. We don’t know what the situation will be. But I do, you can count on that it will be going on next year. But I can’t be 100% cause everything is so uncertain right now so nobody knows what’s going on. But the plan is to do it, the exact same tour, next year.”

Volbeat also just released a new animated video for their latest single “Leviathan” which you can watch below.
