Avenged Sevenfold Add Asking Alexandria, Change Melbourne Date

Yesterday's announcement of a couple of big sideshows for heavy rock titans Avenged Sevenfold had a lot of people very excited, but we hop there weren't too many who jumped the gun, as there has been a bit of a change to what is going on.

Firstly, the Melbourne date has changed and will now take place on Wednesday 26 February, not Thursday 27 as previously announced. The show will still take place at Melbourne's Festival Hall.

In other news, the hugely adored British metalcore group Asking Alexandria have been added to the bill as opening act, joining metallers Five Finger Death Punch in getting things warmed up for the spectacular A7X show. Asking Alexandria boast an enormous Australian fan base, so this will no doubt be enormous news for heavy music lovers in the two cities in question. 

Dates are below and tickets go on sale Thursday morning.
