Happy New Year everybody! We hope you all enjoyed the holidays and had some quality time with family or friends. LORD VOLTURE are kicking off 2025 with exciting news as we are thrilled that we will be returning to the UK's mighty SOS Festival this year!
Back in 2014 we played our first ever gig on English soil at the SOS Festival (we made our live debut in the UK one year earlier in Northern Ireland). It was an amazing experience and we felt wholeheartedly welcomed by both crowd and festival crew.
When we were invited to play SOS Festival again in 2016 we did not hesitate to do so and we were again rewarded with a fantastic experience. The energy both given and received during our performances at SOS Festival is immortalised on our 2023 release "Live 'em Up!" which includes the title "Taiga" recorded at SOS Festival 2014.
So, we look forward a lot to July 5th, 2025. SOS Festival takes place at the Whittles @ Tokyo venue in Oldham, Greater Manchester, and includes many great rock and metal acts from the UK and beyond.
In the summer of 2024 we had a run of shows where we were supporting RAVEN and FLOTSAM AND JETSAM in the Benelux and Germany. It has taken us a while, but we made an after action report of that tour. Check it out!
Simon had to sit this one out because of a shoulder injury. Louis Verheij took his place on bass for these shows! And while Louis did an incredible job for which we are extremely thankful, we will be glad when Simon returns to the stage with us. Now, the good news is that Simon is recovering well, and we are already rehearsing with Simon for our next show at the Meesterlijk Metaal festival in Almere on December 7th!

LIVE ON THE AIR @ RADIO L1 CULTUURCAFE
LORD VOLTURE will perform live music on the air at the Cultuurcafé show on radio L1!
Over the years we've played hundreds of shows all over Europe, our studio releases have received loads of airtime and we've participated in a number of radio interviews in the Netherlands, Italy, Ireland and the UK, but playing live on the radio will be a first-time experience for LORD VOLTURE. Never shy from trying something new, we already look forward to it!
The live radio broadcast will take place on Saturday October 26 from 12:15-13:00 CEST. We will be playing a mixed selection of songs from all our albums as well as answering any questions from our hosts at L1 Cultuurcafé.
Now the Summer of Steel Tour is over we're taking a short break during the month September. We will be back in October for two Benelux shows with Bill Beadle's SACRILEGE!
The first of the two shows will take place at the Ragnarok Live Club in Opitter, Belgium. It will only be LORD VOLTURE's second appearance there, although we have a long history with the venue's owners Koen and Jeke, going all the way back to the days of music club Jan Hertog and the cruise boat events '2000 Tons of Metal' and 'Halloween Cruise'.
The second show will bring us to the metal capital Eindhoven, which also happens to be the place of birth of both David and Paul, as well as Simons place of residence. So it is kind of a home town gig for LORD VOLTURE. Moreover, we are happy to return to Niek van Rixel and his excellent crew at Café The Jack for the sixth(!) time.
Upcoming 2024 dates:
Oct 4 - Ragnarok Live Club, Opitter (BE)
Oct 5 - The Jack, Eindhoven (NL)
Dec 7 - Meesterlijk Metaal XXXIV, Almere (NL)
