VOLBEAT Added To Denmark's ROSKILDE FESTIVAL

March 26, 2007

According to Metalzone.dk, Danish metal band VOLBEAT will be the first act to perform on the main stage at this year's Roskilde Festival, set to take place July 5-8 in Roskilde, Denmark. Also scheduled to appear are SLAYER, MASTODON, PELICAN and CULT OF LUNA, alongside RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS, MY CHEMICAL ROMANCE and THE WHO, among others.

VOLBEAT's sophomore album, "Rock the Rebel / Metal the Devil", recently entered the Danish national chart at position No. 1. According to a posting on the group's web site, the CD has already sold more than 10,000 copies in the band's home country.

The "Rock the Rebel / Metal the Devil" CD can be previewed in its entirety at MTVDanmark.com. The follow-up to last year's "The Strength, The Sound, The Songs" was recorded at Hansen studios in Ribe, Denmark.

VOLBEAT recently announced the addition of guitarist Thomas Bredahl from the punk rock combo GOB SQUAD to the group's ranks. GOB SQUAD supported VOLBEAT on their Danish tour in 2006.

"The Strength, The Sound, The Songs" last year became the first Danish heavy rock release in over 10 years to break the national Top 20.
