It’s been a long time between drinks, but Avenged Sevenfold are finally heading back to Australia for their first headline tour in 12 years, and they’re not pulling up quietly.
The metal juggernauts have locked in three massive arena shows this October, bringing their full-scale spectacle Down Under alongside prog-rock storytellers Coheed and Cambria and Melbourne heavy hitters Thornhill. It’s a lineup that basically reads like a “how hard do you want your brain melted?” menu, from A7X’s stadium-sized chaos to Coheed’s galaxy-brain concept lore and Thornhill’s sleek, modern heaviness.
Avenged Sevenfold – ‘Magic’
For Aussie fans, this one’s been painfully overdue. The band last touched down in 2014 for Soundwave festival (RIP), and yes – we’ve all been side-eyeing that “we’ll be back soon” promise ever since. Fast forward to now, and they’re finally making good on it, fresh off their Life Is But A Dream… era and still very much in their “let’s get weird with it” phase.
And if you’ve ever seen Avenged Sevenfold live, you already know the drill. Big riffs, bigger visuals, and enough pyro-adjacent energy to make your Apple Watch concerned.
