We are thrilled to announce that two of the biggest names in rock– Stone Sour and Avenged Sevenfold, will be joining forces for a co-headline UK tour this autumn, to include the Birmingham NIA on 28 October.

Southern California’s Avenged Sevenfold last played in the UK to sold out crowds in 2008, when they also picked up a Kerrang award for Best Album. They made memorable appearances at the Sonisphere Festival, Download festival as well as playing with Iron Maiden at their landmark Twickenham show.

A7X’s have had two silver albums in the UK and now release their fifth album “Nightmare” on July 26. In late 2009 after their rapturous reception at Sonisphere festival they were voted No.2 band in the world (behind Metallica) by Ultimate Guitar magazine.

Hot on the heels of their incredible set at this year’s Download Festival, Corey Taylor, front man of the three-time Grammy nominated Stone Sour, who steps over from his ‘other job’ fronting Slipknot, is excited to be returning to the UK.
