GODSMACK will return to the road in 2019–first with 20 shows in Europe to be followed by a North American headlining tour with Volbeat. GODSMACK will kick it off February 27 in London with Like A Storm confirmed as direct support for the six-week European trek. Next, GODSMACK will return to the U.S. where they’ll headline a U.S. run of shows with special guests VOLBEAT, along with some co-headlining shows with them in Canada. Tickets are on sale now for the European dates, with onsales set for mid-December for the North American gigs.
Earlier this year (4/27), GODSMACK released When Legends Rise which marks the band’s seventh studio album and their first in four years features. The critically acclaimed 11-song collection, fueled by the #1 rock song and video for “Bulletproof,” plus the title track “When Legends Rise,” entered the Billboard Top 200 album chart in the top ten (#8), with four #1 placements on other charts: Top Rock Albums, Top Hard Music Albums, Top Independent Albums and Top Alternative Albums. WHEN LEGENDS RISE is available on CD, LP and Digital; purchase or stream it here.
Here’s some critical feedback on GODSMACK‘s 2018 shows:
“…Godsmack, after taking the stage for over two decades, still puts on an amazing set…”
“Filled with pyro, extreme lighting, sonic booms, and their entire catalogue of hits, this was an adrenaline rush entering your veins from start to finish.”
“It’s an all out assault on the senses when [Godsmack] start getting into their second set. Broad and bold, this band makes its mark and if all you can remember after 3 days is Godsmack, then success fostered its way to your memory bank and you leave wanting more.”
–Charlotte Alexander, Go Venue Magazine (Welcome to Rockville), 5/9/18
“Godsmack were about to literally blow things up…the Massachusetts rockers put on a high energy show with all the bells and whistles including smoke, fire, and plenty of pyro.”
On August 26, 2017, VOLBEAT became the first Danish band to headline and sell out their hometown venue, Denmark’s Telia Parken, setting the record for the biggest show by a domestic artist in Denmark ever with over 48,250 people in attendance. To commemorate and immortalize the record-breaking event, the band will release their live album and concert film, Let’s Boogie! Live From Telia Parken, on December 14th via Republic Records.
