For the past few years now, at every show in Camden, they put the band’s name up on the marquee here so that fans can get pictures. It’s a really cool idea!
Brent PorcheSo-Cal rockers Avenged Sevenfold kicked-off their 2023 “Life Is But A Dream…” tour at the Freedom Mortgage Pavilion in Camden, NJ last night. A7X is also on the tour in support of their brand-new eighth studio album Life Is But A Dream…
Warner Brothers Records released the album in June.
Australian TikTok sensation Kim Dracula kicked off the night, followed by Canadian post-hardcore rockers Alexisonfire, who are touring in support of their recent fifth studio album Otherness.
Avenged Sevenfold's Show
With the oppressive heat and humidity subsiding and a nice breeze, it ended up being a beautiful night at the Freedom Mortgage Pavilion, with some of the best seats in the house on the lawn itself.
I was hovering around the outskirts of the Pit, and even on the sides of the Pit, it was especially HOT! Shout out to everyone that lost 20 pounds sweating it out in the middle!
The first two songs of the night from Avenged Sevenfold were the first two tracks off their brand-new album Life Is But A Dream…, followed by their 2007 hit “Afterlife” from their self-titled, fourth album. “Hail to the King” followed that with a raucous crowd sing-along.
Overall, we heard eight of the 11 brand-new tracks off their latest album Life is But A Dream…, the rest of the 16 song set featured A7X smash hits “Nightmare,” “Bat Country,” and “Unholy Confessions.” Surprisingly, quite a few of their massive songs were left off the setlist like “Beast & The Harlot,” “Scream,” “Almost Easy,” among others.
The stage set-up saw Avenged Sevenfold surrounded on three of four sides by huge screens. Throughout the evening, there was cool imagery displayed on the massive screens, which you can also see in the photos below. No pyrotechnics this time, just a lot of lights and smoke/fog.
Life is But a Dream...
Life is But a Dream…, featuring the lead-off single “Nobody,” is the first studio album from Avenged Sevenfold since The Stage in 2016.
Avenged Sevenfold’s “Life Is But A Dream…” Tour runs through mid-October with two separate legs. Falling In Reverse will join A7X on the tour’s second leg which kicks off in September. Check out the rest of A7X’s tour dates here.
