Two hard-rocking bands — Five Finger Death Punch and Volbeat — are touring together this fall, and the first stop is in Utah.
The bands will launch their North American tour with a show Tuesday, Sept. 16, at the Maverik Center, 3200 S. Decker Lake Drive, West Valley City.
L.A. based Five Finger Death Punch — vocalist Ivan Moody, guitarists Zoltan Bathory and Jason Hook, drummer Jeremy Spencer and bassist Chris Kael — is coming off the success of their 2013 double release, "The Wrong Side of Heaven and the Righteous Side of Hell, Volume 1" and "Volume 2." Those albums produced three hit singles: "Lift Me Up" (featuring Rob Halford of Judas Priest), "Battle Born" and a cover of the classic "House of the Rising Sun."
Danish band Volbeat mixes a little rockabilly into their metal. The band — singer/guitarist Michael Poulson, drummer Jon Larsen, bassist Anders Kjølholm and lead guitarist Rob Caggiano (formerly of Anthrax) — is coming off the success of its 2013 album "Outlaw Gentlemen & Shady Ladies."
Also on the bill are the bands Hellyeah and Nothing More.
Tickets go on sale Friday, 10 a.m., via Ticketmaster.
