Huntington Beach-based rock band Avenged Sevenfold dropped “Nobody,” its first new single since 2016, on Tuesday, March 14.
The band, comprised of vocalist M. Shadows, guitarist Synyster Gates, guitarist Zacky Vengeance, bassist Johnny Christ and drummer Brooks Wackerman, is set to release a new album, “Life is But a Dream…” on June 2.
The band also announced a pair of shows at Kia Forum in Inglewood on June 9 and Madison Square Garden in New York City on June 23. Tickets go on sale for the Inglewood show go on sale to the general public at 10 a.m. Friday, March 17 at Ticketmaster.com. There’s a fan club Deathbat Nation presale that starts at noon on Wednesday, March 15 and ends at 10 p.m. March 16. Fans can sign up for that at avengedsevenfold.com.
The arena concert marks A7X’s first proper headlining gig in Los Angeles County since 2009, but the band did headline Irvine Meadows on the Uproar Festival in its native Orange County in 2010. The quintet also played an intimate fan appreciation show at the Hollywood Palladium in 2013 in support of its “Hail to the King” album, and in 2016 played a livestreaming show with a few lucky local fans in attendance atop the Capitol Records building in Los Angeles for the launch of its 2016 album “The Stage.”
