Download Festival strikes again with the announcement that Avenged Sevenfold will appear as the second headliner at Download 2018. Ozzy Osbourne was named as the first headliner already. A7X is on tour now supporting their late 2016 release The Stage (Capitol Records).
Download Festival’s Promoter, Andy Copping commented:
“A real career highlight of mine was giving Avenged Sevenfold their first ever UK festival headline slot, and I’m thrilled to welcome them back. You don’t often see bands like Avenged Sevenfold top the charts, but much like seeing them live, they’re not to be underestimated.”
Avenged Sevenfold commented:
“We are more than honoured to be a part of this legendary show and line up. Being asked to headline Download for the second time is a career highlight. We would like to thank our UK A7X family”
