Avenged Sevenfold to make Pittsburgh stop on Life is But A Dream tour
Avenged Sevenfold’s third leg of the band’s Life is But A Dream… tour of North America will include a stop at Pittsburgh’s PPG Paints Arena in March.
The metal band — which includes singer M. Shadows, guitarists Synyster Gates and Zacky Vengeance, bassist Johnny Christ and drummer Brooks Wackerman — will play March 25, with leadoff acts Poppy and Sullivan King.
The group’s eighth album, “Life Is but a Dream…,” was released in June and is their first in seven years.
Tickets are available now for Deathbats Club members through a TicketPass presale until 10 p.m. Nov. 28. Additional presales will run until the general sale starts at 10 a.m. Friday at LiveNation.com.
