Volbeat will miss their show with Ghost Friday in Nampa, Idaho, due to drummer Jon Larsen testing positive for COVID-19.

“Jon is asymptomatic and feeling fine,” the Danish rockers write in an Instagram post. “We’re hopeful he will be back behind the kit soon.”

The show is part of Volbeat’s ongoing co-headlining tour with Ghost, which just kicked off earlier this week. Ghost and opener Twin Temple will still play tonight, though Volbeat fans who no longer wish to attend may receive a refund at point of purchase.

Volbeat plans to return to the tour for Saturday’s show in Portland with former Slayer drummer Jon Dette taking over for Larsen until he’s “cleared to return.”
