Avenged Sevenfold delivered a special throwback performance on October 25th, featuring a setlist drawn exclusively from their breakthrough 2003 album “Waking the Fallen” and its 2005 successor “City of Evil.” The event took place at The Observatory in Santa Ana, California, with long-running Southern California hardcore punk veterans Death By Stereo opening the show. Avenged Sevenfold have now released their official video recap of the event.
In keeping with the Halloween spirit, Avenged Sevenfold front man M. Shadows took the stage in a skeleton jumpsuit and skull makeup. The rare performance saw the band revisiting several tracks that hadn’t been played live in at least six years. The complete setlist was as follows:
01. To End The Rapture (first performance since 2017)
