This is a huge achievement for a band whose dedicated fans appreciate that they have never compromised their end goals. The band will now headline the O2 Arena on January 21 and 22, tickets are on sale now. The band’s first UK tour for three years is set to call at Dublin’s 3Arena before stops at the SSE Hydro in Glasgow, Newcastle’s Metro Radio Arena, Sheffield Arena, Manchester Arena, Birmingham’s Genting Arena, Cardiff’s Motorpoint Arena and Nottingham’s Motorpoint Arena.

In December 2013 AVENGED SEVENFOLD celebrated their No. 1 album ‘Hail To The King’ with a sold out arena tour taking in Manchester, Birmingham and London’s Wembley Arena. They followed that with an awe inspiring headline slot at Download Festival in June 2014 cementing their unshakable reputation for breath-taking live performances.

In November 2012, they made an unprecedented appearance as characters in Call of Duty Black Ops 2 — the biggest-selling video game of all time, which featured the band’s performance of “Carry On,” written specifically for the game.
AVENGED SEVENFOLD self-released the action-adventure mobile video game Hail To The King:Deathbat to rave reviews; with music, concept, and gameplay created entirely by the band.
