Avenged Sevenfold

Metalcore band Avenged Sevenfold draw on pop punk influences to write fast paced songs with stylised horror show narratives about murder, substance abuse and vengeance. Their melodramatic melodic metal has seen them highly decorated by the MTV Music Awards, at the Golden God Awards and by Kerrang!

The Californian hard rockers are joined by the legendry Disturbed and Swedish death metal band In Flames in January of 2017. With such an amazing trio of ferocious acts, the bar is set very high for all gigs throughout the rest of the year.
