Volbeat, Halestorm, & The Ghost Inside Lit Up The Toyota Amphitheatre in Wheatland, CA
July 25, 2025 - The skies, filled with lightning flashing overhead and rain lightly drizzling down didn’t overshadow the sheer power of The Greatest of All Tours Worldwide, at the Toyota Amphitheatre. Many came to bear witness to a triple-threat lineup of VOLBEAT, HALESTORM, and THE GHOST INSIDE. This was a night of rock and metal fury that refused to be subdued.
Opening the evening, THE GHOST INSIDE wasted no time igniting the crowd. Their set was raw, energetic, and cathartic. With every breakdown and chorus, the band rallied fans, setting the perfect tone for the mayhem to follow.
HALESTORM took the stage next. As lightning lit up the sky, Lzzy Hale’s primal screams filled the air. From each riff to every note of her iconic voice, it is easy to see why she is the first female to win a Grammy for Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance with “Love Bites (And So Do I).”
Then came the headliners: VOLEBEAT! Frontman Michael Poulsen took a step back vocally (due to vocal strain), and the audience understood the assignment and belted out the lyrics in a communal show of support, turning the entire amphitheatre one massive choir. The Danish rockers charged through a 15-song set with their trademark grit and power. From the thunderous Black Sabbath cover “Children of the Grave” to fan anthems like “The Devil’s Bleeding Crown” and “Still Counting,” VOLBEAT’S performance was a testament to resilience and rock ‘n’ roll unity.
All three bands have the ability to connect across generations making this show one for the books!
