Avenged Sevenfold announced today that they will be returning to the
Far and Middle East beginning April 16th in Tokyo, Japan, for a tour
that will culminate in a special show in Dubai, UAE on May 4th.
“We are excited to go back to the Far and Middle East,” said Avenged
Sevenfold front man M. Shadows. "We played to some of the most amazing
crowds when we toured the album there, and we can't wait to bring our
live show back to our friends in those regions.”
Long time friends Metallica have asked Avenged Sevenfold to perform
at the first ever Orion Music + More at Bader Field in Atlantic City,
NJ, on June 24th. M. Shadows had this to say: "We really hadn't
planned to play the United States in 2012. But after Lars called to
describe their plans for Orion and asked us to join them, we decided
there's no way we would miss it." The band toured with Metallica in
2006 as part of Metallica’s “Escape From The Studio Tour” and that year
M. Shadows and Metallica’s James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich were featured
together on the cover of Revolver Magazine. 3 years later, Avenged
Sevenfold toured with Metallica on their “World Magnetic” tour.
In July 2010, Avenged Sevenfold released their fifth studio album
Nightmare, which earned the band its highest-ever debut on the Billboard
album chart when it bowed at No. 1 and topped the Rock, Hard Rock, and
Digital charts. It has been certified gold by the RIAA and has scanned
upwards of 660,000 units. The album spawned three hit singles – the
gold-certified singles “Nightmare” and “Welcome To The Family,” and “So
Far Away” – each of which peaked at Number 1 on the Media Base Active
Rock chart. The title track was the most-played current song at Media
Base Active Rock for 2010. Avenged Sevenfold have toured incessantly
on their “Buried Alive” and “Welcome to the Family” tours selling out
arenas around the world. They also headlined the Uproar Tour and the
first annual Carolina Rebellion Festival in 2011 where the band played
to a sold-out crowd of over 30,000 fans. The band also toured Iraq with
the USO and has played to nearly 1,000,000 people in the last two
years. Their breakout album City of Evil and the Live In The LBC DVD
have both been certified platinum and the band’s self-titled album has
been certified gold.
