Avenged Sevenfold Announce Free Concert

(Metal Hammer) Avenged Sevenfold have announced a free show in Minneapolis tonight night (August 18) at the iconic First Avenue club, which was made famous in the Prince movie "Purple Rain".

The band decided to organize a small gig for 1500 lucky fans on a first-come, first-served basis at the city's First Avenue venue to "get the blood flowing" ahead of their sold-out concert with Metallica and Volbeat at Minneapolis' brand new US Bank Stadium on Saturday night (August 20).

They say: "We got into Minneapolis a little bit early and decided we wanted to play a small gig to get the blood flowing again. We called up the world famous First Avenue and asked if we could play a free show tomorrow night, and they said yes.

"So, there you have it. Doors open at 7pm and we will play around 9pm. There will be no tickets for this show." Read more here.
