Volbeat have announced the first dates of a European tour, with support from Airbourne and Crobot.

Michael Poulsen’s band will continue on the road to support the launch of sixth album Seal The Deal & Let’s Boogie.

Earlier this month they listed a run of North American dates, to follow their current European run.

Poulsen says of the tour: “Rock’n’roll from three continents gathered in one place will be loud enough to tear the roof off any building.”

He recently reported that Seal The Deal & Let’s Boogie demonstrated Volbeat’s interest in catching emotion over perfection in the studio, explaining: “We pretty just much want to get the job done and get the hell out.

“For me, it’s not about having the perfect take – it’s about having the take that has the most spirit and soul in it.”

European tickets go on sale on June 24 (Friday). Further tour dates will be revealed in due course.
