Volbeat have announced a North American tour which will take place across August and September.

The band recently released their sixth album album Seal The Deal & Let’s Boogie and are currently on tour across Europe in support of the record. The new date scan be viewed in the list below, highlighted in bold.

Now they’ll take to the road across the US and Canada later in the year, taking in a total of 17 dates with Killswitch Engage and Black Wizard supporting on selected shows.

The group have also announced that those who buy a ticket will receive a copy of their new album either as a digital download or on CD. For those who have already purchased the follow-up to 2013’s Outlaw Gentlemen & Shady Ladies, the band encourage them to “gift your free copy.”

Tickets go on general sale on Jun 10 at 10am local time.

Earlier this week, Volbeat frontman Michael Poulsen said they prioritised emotion over perfection while in the studio.

He said: “We pretty just much want to get the job done and get the hell out of the studio. For me, it’s not about having the perfect take – it’s about having the take that has the most spirit and soul in it.”
