Avenged Sevenfold are set to return to the UK bigger and badder than ever. The band has announced their UK tour for January 2017 which includes a headline performance at The O2 on Saturday 21 January. Avenged Sevenfold achieved worldwide success with a string of best-selling albums, including their 2005 platinum breakthrough City Of Evil, 2007’s Avenged Sevenfold, Nightmare (2010) and their most recent, Hail To The King – achieving diamond, platinum and gold awards for album sales in nearly a dozen countries. The band – who hail from Huntington Beach, California – have become known for their spectacular live shows, routinely selling out arenas worldwide and headlining some of the biggest and most prestigious music festivals. 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.
