VOLBEAT, HALESTORM, AND THE GHOST INSIDE IGNITE TOYOTA MUSIC FACTORY WITH A NIGHT OF HEAVY HITS
The Pavilion at Toyota Music Factory was absolutely electric on July 28th as Volbeat, Halestorm, and The Ghost Inside delivered a night of genre-spanning intensity, emotional grit, and sheer rock power.
The Ghost Inside opened the show with a gut-punch of emotion and unrelenting heaviness. From the first breakdown to the final scream, they poured every ounce of their story into the set—most notably when frontman Jonathan Vigil reflected on the band’s comeback journey following their tragic bus accident. It was raw. It was real. And the crowd felt every second of it, erupting into pits and chants like they were part of the recovery too.
Next up, Halestorm brought thunder and finesse. Lzzy Hale was an absolute force of nature—belting out hit after hit with signature swagger. The setlist delivered bangers like “I Miss the Misery,” “Freak Like Me,” and “I Get Off,” while their surprise tribute to Ozzy Osbourne with a killer cover of “Perry Mason” was a major highlight. Halestorm’s stage presence was all drama and polish—they kept the crowd completely hypnotized from start to finish.
Finally, Volbeat closed the night with a full-throttle, 18-song set that perfectly fused groove metal, punk grit, and rockabilly flair. Michael Poulsen led the charge with charisma and power, delivering fan favorites like “Lola Montez,” “The Devil’s Bleeding Crown,” and “A Warrior’s Call.” Their own Ozzy tribute—a heavy-hitting cover of “Children of the Grave”—sealed the deal as a nod to the legends that shaped them.
The atmosphere? Loud. Sweaty. Unforgettable. From emotional storytelling to face-melting riffs, this triple threat lineup hit every note fans could’ve hoped for—and then some.
