Watch Avenged Sevenfold Debut Several New Tracks Live And Attempt A Loose Cover Of System Of A Down’s “Chop Suey!”

Last night (May 12th) saw Avenged Sevenfold make their return to the live stage, performing their first show since June of 2018. The surprise set took place at AREA15 in Las Vegas, NV, complementing the ongoing immersive 360º album experience the band are hosting at that venue for their upcoming new album “Life Is But A Dream…” (out June 02nd.)

The set saw the live debut of several songs from that record, along with a very loose attempt at a crowd singalong cover of System Of A Down‘s enduring hit “Chop Suey!“. Here’s what the band performed last night:

“Game Over”
“Afterlife”
“Hail To The King”
“We Love You”
“Buried Alive”
“So Far Away”
