"So this summer takes a somewhat unexpected, but obviously insanely cool turn. But after a little time to think and talk with those closest to me, it dawned on me that it was something I could not possibly say no to. "When I was asked by Michael Poulsen not many weeks ago if I wanted to help them, I was honestly at first very overwhelmed by the request and found it very difficult to see myself in that role. This means I'm playing all upcoming European festival shows in Finland, Norway, Sweden (warming up for METALLICA),Switzerland, Germany and Austria as well as the US/Canada tour in July and August. No reason was given for the split, but the remaining bandmembers said that they wished their "brother Rob all the best with everything he does in the future." They went on to thank Rob "for ten amazing years."Ī day later, Lund commented on his decision to accept the offer to play with VOLBEAT on the band's 2023 shows, saying in a statement: "The cat's out of the bag! Sometimes unexpected things happen in life and this must be said to be one of them: I can now finally reveal that I will be playing stand-in in VOLBEAT for Rob Caggiano on lead guitar on VOLBEAT's upcoming summer tour. Just five days earlier, VOLBEAT announced that it had officially parted ways with Caggiano. VOLBEAT played its first concert with Lund on June 10 at the Rockfest festival in Hyvinkää, Finland. And he took up the challenge, and we made an agreement and he's helping out VOLBEAT for this year." So he said, 'Give me a few days just to actually figure out what you guys are playing,' beside the stuff that you hear on the radio. So he said, 'I just have to listen to a lot of VOLBEAT records, I guess.' Of course he knew VOLBEAT - everybody knows VOLBEAT in Denmark - but he was not listening to VOLBEAT.

"And, again, thank you for your amazing support. You know, since VOLBEAT is not touring next year, I will be on the road with ASINHELL. A lot of great ideas for the next record. So next time we are on the road, it'll be with a bunch of new songs. We are gonna use some time on family, our kids, and we're not gonna tour next year, but we are gonna write a new album and go into the studio to record the album. We had a great time with HALESTORM, and can't wait to come back. and all the people who've been traveling to see VOLBEAT. And from everybody in VOLBEAT, I wanna say thank you so much for the amazing support in Canada and U.S. He said (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): "Hello VOLBEAT listeners and VOLBEAT fans out there.
