Avenged Sevenfold recently appeared as special guests of Iron Maiden at many of their shows across mainland Europe and Scandinavia this summer. The sole UK date was at Twickenham Stadium on July 5th. On the band’s return to these shores they will also play on the main stage at the Leeds and Reading festivals on August 22nd and 24th respectively, where Metallica headline a bill that also includes Slipknot and Tenacious D.

Produced by the band with Andy Wallace (System of a Down, Linkin Park) on mixing duties, Avenged Sevenfold’s current self-titled album continues their burgeoning reputation as one of the most exciting bands on the contemporary metal scene. The result is an uncompromising collection laden with heavy riffage, fluid leads, battering rhythms and insistent hooks. Highlights of the set include the first single ‘Almost Easy’ and the vehement opening track ‘Critical Acclaim’ as well as ‘Dear God’.

UK dates:

20th August Kerrang! Awards Week of Rock show at ULU
22nd August Leeds Festival
24th August Reading Festival
