Heavy metal superstars Avenged Sevenfold have been teasing the possibility of a new album for what feels like an eternity. Now, with the official announcement that they will be releasing new music in 2023, could we also be getting a new tour?

The rockers are cited as one of the leading bands of the new wave of heavy metal, and have released seven studio albums since forming in 1999. The “Hail to the King” singers have sold over eight million records worldwide and have five platinum albums to their name.

With the band finally set to release their long awaited album in 2023, after a seven year hiatus, now could be the time for a new tour announcement? Find out everything you need to know here, including possible dates, venues and how you can secure VIP tickets to the shows.

Are Avenged Sevenfold releasing any new music?

Avenged Sevenfold's fans have been left waiting for new music since they brought out their seventh studio album “The Stage” in 2016.

The only new release from the American rockers in the last seven years is a previously unreleased song from their 2013 “Hail to the King” recording sessions called “Set Me Free” that they finally released in 2020.

However, the band has now officially confirmed that their new album will be released in 2023 in an announcement on their website. They also teased the new release with a series of postcards sent out with merchandise purchases. There is no official name for the project yet, but it is  likely to be announced shortly.

Members of the band have spoken at length about working on a new album, with lead singer M. Shadows explaining, “We’ve been writing a record for a while, and most of it was already written. But then we kinda took a break on it”, when speaking to Kerrang! In 2020.

A whole two years later, bassist Johnny Christ stated that the band were “still finishing up our record that we started. We had a lot of delays, for a lot of different reasons”, when talking on the Drinks With Johnny podcast. The original given date for the album's release was 2018, so fans have been waiting a while.

When did Avenged Sevenfold last tour?

Avenged Sevenfold's last tour was supposed to be their “End of the World Tour” in 2018, however, the band was forced to cancel all of the dates, after lead singer M. Shadows developed a vocal chord injury.

Meaning that the band’s last actual tour was their 2017 “The Stage World Tour”, which featured eight massive shows across the UK between January 10th - 21st. The band brought fellow hard rockers Disturbed and In Flames with them as support acts for their monster heavy metal shows.

The dates that Avenged Sevenfold played on their “The Stage World Tour” are as follows:

• The SSE Hydro - Glasgow - 10th Jan 2017
• Metro Radio Arena - Newcastle - 12 Jan 2017
• Resorts World Arena - Birmingham - 13th Jan 2017
• Sheffield Arena - Sheffield - 15th Jan 2017
• AO Arena - Manchester - 16th Jan 2017
• Motorpoint Arena - Nottingham - 18th Jan 2017
• Motorpoint Arena - Cardiff - 19th Jan 2017
• The O2 Arena - London - 21st Jan 2017

Are Avenged Sevenfold touring in 2023?

There has been no official announcement from Avenged Sevenfold about a tour in 2023, however, with the announcement of their long awaited new album coming in the new year, it is highly likely that a new tour announcement will follow in time.

Fans have been waiting to see the “Nightmare” singers live again for seven years, so a new tour from the band is long overdue.

Should there be any announcement of a new Avenged Sevenfold tour, then this post will be updated with the latest information.
