Hardcore Metal Heads gathered in droves at the Budweiser Stage in downtown Toronto last week to see the Knotfest Roadshow, featuring Slipknot along with supporting acts Behemoth, Gojira and Volbeat.
Godsmack and Volbeat rock Ottawa
When I was told I was shooting Godsmack I was excited. I saw them live many years ago and became a big fan. The Canadian Tire Center was the spot for the night, and it was going to be amazing. Godsmack brought along Danish rock band Volbeat and American’s Stitched up Heart along for the ride to round out the lineup. One thing I found interesting was the fact that Volbeat was playing a set just as long as a headliner. This made the tour more like a tag team vs and opening act and headliner moment.
Godsmack and Volbeat coming to Canada
This morning, the Grammy nominated Danish band Volbeat confirmed 17 new tour dates with Godsmack throughout the U.S. and Canada in April and May of 2019. The tour will kick off with a string of dates in the U.S. as special guests to Godsmack before the pair embarks on a cross-country co-headline tour of Canada.
Metallica announce Worldwired Tour, skip Ottawa
It’s 2017 and Ottawa is celebrating Canada 150 and some of the biggest concert tours and events are passing through the city in the coming 11 months but not Metallica…at least Ottawa isn’t part of the dates the veteran rockers announced this morning….but their tour dates do intersect with Ottawa right around RBC Bluesfest which has yet to announce their 2017 lineup….
