Avenged Sevenfold Unveil 2013 Fall Tour Dates + ‘Hail to the King’ Box Set Details

Avenged Sevenfold are just starting to lay the groundwork for their 'Hail to the King' album. The band just unveiled the title track for the album and now they're unleashing details concerning their fall tour and limited edition box set version of the disc.

First off, the band will be hitting the road with Deftones and Ghost B.C., making their North American run an early candidate for the must-see fall trek of 2013. The group has yet to announce venues or ticketing on-sale information for the run, but they did let fans know what cities they'll be playing and on what date. The first stop on the run comes Oct. 3 in Chicago and continues through an Oct. 26 finale in Las Vegas. Deftones and Ghost B.C. are confirmed to open each of the shows. In addition, Avenged Sevenfold have announced plans to play a free show for their fans at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles Aug. 26. The band will reveal how fans can receive tickets shortly via their website.

Secondly, while fans have to be amped about the Aug. 27 street date for the new 'Hail to the King' album, there's also a massive limited edition box set version of the album that will arrive on the same date. The collection (seen above at left) comes in an antique gold colored embossed foil wrapped "treasure box" and will feature exclusive 'Hail to the King' artwork and a deluxe version of the album on CD with a download card for a bonus track. Other features include an exclusive Canvas Print, a 20-page photo book featuring photos of the group throughout the years, a Death Bat Challenge Coin, a Death Bat Skeleton Key, an instant download of the new single and a download of the album on the street date.

Fans who purchase the box set will also receive pre-sale access to the upcoming tour. Those wishing to purchase the deluxe edition box set can do so at this location and once the item sells out, no further box sets will be made.
