AVENGED SEVENFOLD and GOOD CHARLOTTE are joining forces next summer for a major North American tour — a rare pairing that brings together two hugely influential bands whose friendship goes back decades. Though each carved their own path in the rock world, this run highlights the shared history and mutual respect that have linked them since their early days.
Promoted by Live Nation, the 16-city trek kicks off July 25 in Ridgedale, Missouri, and rolls through Shakopee, Chicago, St. Louis, Detroit, Toronto, Montreal, New York, Boston, Charlotte, Dallas and more before closing out August 27 at Talking Stick Resort Amphitheatre in Phoenix, Arizona.
For AVENGED SEVENFOLD, the tour follows the release of their new single “Magic,” which became available on December 6, debuting first in the latest season of Call of Duty: Black Ops 7. Released independently and featuring artwork by renowned artist Wes Lang, “Magic” marks the band’s first new music since 2023’s acclaimed Life Is But A Dream…. Known for their innovative production, tech-driven fan engagement, and forward-thinking ticketing models, AVENGED SEVENFOLD continue to push their creative vision both sonically and visually.
GOOD CHARLOTTE, meanwhile, returned in August with Motel Du Cap, their first album in seven years. The record earned major praise — with Rolling Stone applauding its “unrelenting energy” and Paper declaring the band “one of the most influential career acts of the 21st century.” They’ve since performed new material on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, The Kelly Clarkson Show, and Good Morning America. The 2026 run marks GOOD CHARLOTTE’s first North American tour since 2018.
Priority tickets will first be available to AVENGED SEVENFOLD’s Deathbats Club and both bands’ Early Access TicketPass holders. Fans can submit requests beginning Monday, December 8 at 7 a.m. PT / 10 a.m. ET via the official Ticketmaster request pages for U.S. and Canadian shows. The window closes December 9, with confirmations sent on December 10.
Additional presales will run throughout the week. General on-sale begins Friday, December 12 at 10 a.m. local time via LiveNation.com.
