Avenged Sevenfold have announced a new headlining tour to kick off 2011, with Stone Sour and Hollywood Undead in tow. The tour is being called The Nightmare After Christmas tour and it's way after Christmas, it kicks off in late January. Lame tour title aside, this is a tour that will surely appease some of the more mainstream metal junkies on this site. There isn't much in the way of guttural vocals or crazy blast beating on this tour, but there is sure to be some sweet soloing. Sean must be excited! Here is the current itinerary:
