Volcanism occurs on planets with a liquid metal layer beneath a solid rock layer. Saturn and Uranus are gas giants and have neither, being completely composed of gas. Therefore, no volcanism can occur on those planets or Neptune or Jupiter for that matter.

They can occur on the moons, however, under the right circumstances. Io, a moon of Jupiter, experiences the most volcanism of any celestial body in the solar system.
