Sturgis, SD (March 5, 2019) – The unmistakable heavy metal boogie of Volbeat will disrupt the Buffalo Chip’s® Wolfman Jack Stage on Friday, Aug. 9.

“We’ve received so many requests to book Volbeat over the past few years, so we searched them out and started listening. Now we’re big fans!” said Rod Woodruff, Sturgis Buffalo Chip President. “There’s some tremendous talent here with a sound that Buffalo Chip fans are going to love.”
Volbeat’s chart-topping songs include “The Devil’s Bleeding Crown,” which clung to the no. 1 spot on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock chart for nine weeks, and “Seal the Deal,” both from their latest album, “Seal the Deal and Let’s Boogie.” All of the band’s six studio albums have been certified gold in Denmark, and their second album, “Rock the Rebel/Metal the Devil,” received platinum status.
