Avenged Sevenfold Announce Nightmare After Christmas Tour

The sugarplums will no longer be dancing in your head and you will no longer be expecting a big sack of gifts from Santa Claus by the time Avenged Sevenfold return to the road. The band will kick off 2011 with their Nightmare After Christmas Tour, which begins Jan. 20 in Reading, Pa. Enjoy your holiday celebrations and libations while you can, as the band will haunt venues, with Hollywood Undead and their UPROAR main stage tourmates Stone Sour in tow.

The nightmare will come to life as A7X will include a brand new production set up and 'slay bells' will ring throughout 18 markets. Tickets go on sale beginning Dec. 3 for some shows.
