The Avenged Sevenfold/Deftones/Ghost Tour is a Really Real Thing

Back in April, rumors began to circulate that Avenged Sevenfold were going to do a tour with the Deftones and Ghost, which is EXACTLY the kind of bill we love here at MetalSucks — ’cause no two of these bands sound alike, or are obvious tour mates in any way.

Well, lookee lookee, the rumors were true! Avenged Sevenfold have now officially announced the tour and released a complete itinerary, sans venues for whatever reason. I’d be super-curious to see what the crowds are like at these shows, and how many of each band’s fans stay for the other acts. Will A7X admirers get there early to check out the much-buzzed-about Ghost? Will Deftones fans just walk out after their set? Or are these folks more open-minded than I’m giving them credit for?
