Back in April, Danish metal outfit Volbeat announced the first string of shows for their upcoming North American tour with Hellyeah. Now, the band has followed that up with additional dates for the summer trek. Could this mean that they'll join Hellyeah when they come to El Paso for the Balloonfest makeup show?

Volbeat’s popularity in the United States is starting to match the success they’ve achieved in Europe, thanks to the massive radio hits ‘A Warrior’s Call’ and ‘Still Counting.’

Joining Volbeat on this run are Hellyeah and Iced Earth. Hellyeah have a new disc due out on July 17 titled ‘Band of Brothers,’ and Iced Earth are touring in support of their 2011 release ‘Dystopia.’

Volbeat just finished up a slew of festival performances including Carolina Rebellion, Rock on the Range and Rocklahoma and will kick off their headlining tour in mid-June. Among the shows will be a stop at Metallica’s Orion Music + More Festival.
