Sixteen Tracks and Not a Single Wasted Moment

I’ve been told more times than I can count that you need to see Volbeat live. On June 9, 2025 at the Scotiabank Saddledome in Calgary, Alberta, I finally understood why. No theatrics, no gimmicks, just Michael Poulsen and the band getting on stage under a sea of blue and letting the music do exactly what it’s supposed to do.
