For the first time in a decade-plus, American heavy metal juggernaut Avenged Sevenfold return to Australia, and they're bringing New York prog rockers Coheed and Cambria.
It's been 12 long years, but Avenged Sevenfold will headline concerts in Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne this October, joined by special guest Coheed and Cambria and local heavy slayers Thornhill.
With eight studio albums in their arsenal, their most recent being 2023's 'Life Is But A Dream', including two consecutive #1 albums on Billboard's Top 200 Albums chart (2010's 'Nightmare' and 2013's 'Hail To The King') Avenged Sevenfold's back catalogue is littered with some of the biggest metal anthems of the last 25 years.
From 'Hail To The King', 'Nightmare' and 'Afterlife', to 'A Little Piece Of Heaven', 'Bat Country' and 'So Far Away', the band also have over a billion-plus video views and Spotify streams.
The band (featuring M. Shadows, Synyster Gates, Zacky Vengeance, Johnny Christ and Brooks Wackerman) are equally known for their spectacular live shows, selling out arenas and headlining the world's most prestigious heavy music festivals.
In December, Avenged Sevenfold released their newest single, 'Magic'. A standalone release, 'Magic' was made as a tie-in to 'Call Of Duty: Black Ops 7''s Season 1 patch.
Coheed and Cambria – which includes Claudio Sanchez (vocals, guitar), Travis Stever (lead guitar), Josh Eppard (drums), and Zach Cooper (bass) – emerged in the early 2000s wedged between an emo renaissance and a metal revival.
While their peers broke hearts and banged heads, they crafted Game Of Thrones-level fantasies around their Amory Wars storyline, which unfurls across 78 planets known as Heaven's Fence.
Eight of the band's albums thus far (plus a small galaxy of comics and novels) live in this space and so does 'The Father Of Make Believe', which was released last year.
Tickets go on sale from 11am (local time) on 17 April.
