Having just released their brand new record, ‘Into the Wild Life’, Halestorm frontwoman Izzy Hale seems to be doing pretty well at flying the flag for the girls.

Hale was the first female musician to ever win a Grammy for ‘Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance’ in 2013 thanks to her efforts on hit single ‘Love Bites (So Do I)’.

With their heavy ’80s influence, infectious melodies and roof-raising choruses, Halestorm are on their way to filling stadiums.

Meanwhile, playing on the same night are folk duo Brittany Haas and Lena Jonsson at Jazzhus Montmartre.
