VOLBEAT Set Record For Most #1 Mainstream Rock Songs By A European Act

Billboard is reporting Danish heavy rockers Volbeat have reached #1 on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock Songs airplay chart for “Die To Live”.

The song is the Danish group's eighth Mainstream Rock Songs #1, breaking the band out of a tie with U2 for the most No. 1s by an act based outside of North America, dating to the chart's 1981 inception.

Volbeat first led in July 2012 with "Still Counting." Among all artists, Volbeat ties for the ninth-most Mainstream Rock Songs No. 1s. Shinedown and Three Days Grace lead all acts with 15 apiece.

Volbeat recently confirmed 15 US headlining dates on their Rewind, Replay, Rebound World Tour this April and May, bringing the tour to cities including Las Vegas, Nashville, Atlanta, Baltimore, and New York City (full dates below).

Special guests Clutch will be direct support on all dates (with the exception of the May 2 Hershey, PA show, which will feature direct support from Gojira) with The Picturebooks opening each night. 

The band has previously announced European festival and headline appearances coming in June and July, following their sold-out 2019 European run. Tickets and more information about these dates are available here.

“We can’t wait to get back to the States and bring a full, headline-length Volbeat show to our US fans,” said the band, “and we’re beyond ecstatic to have our great friends in Clutch and our new friends in The Picturebooks joining us for the ride. We will see you very, very soon!”

Additionally, the band will be headlining 98 KUPD’s UFEST 2020 April 4 at Big Surf in Tempe, AZ and will appear at FM99 WNOR’s Lunatic Luau alongside Disturbed on May 1 at Veterans United Home Loans Amphitheater in Virginia Beach.
