When Avenged Sevenfold hit the road next year, their live show is going to be like nothing fans have ever seen from them before. That's because the band has teamed up with a company that works with Canada's Cirque du Soleil.
Singer M. Shadows revealed the news to Metal Hammer. "The production that's being built is different for us, different for anyone I've ever seen, the people we've hired don't do tours, they do Cirque du Soleil."
Shadows also spoke about another way their touring will change next year, "This is gonna be drawn out into different types of touring. We're not going on tour for six months, it'll be two weeks on, two weeks off. It'll be a longer cycle but we're gonna roll with the punches."
He added, "We're an oddball. A lot of bands live, breath and die the 2016 metal scene, but we just live in our own world and try to do things different than everyone else. I don't ever feel like we fit in. We're going to be whatever we feel is right, and if it changes the industry, then great."
Their trek begins in Europe on Jan. 7 in Ireland.
