Avenged Sevenfold Setlist Overview

If the early 2026 shows are any clue, the A7X setlist for their North American Tour 2026 will cover peaks across their entire catalogue and more. While 2023’s Life Is But a Dream… has solidified itself in the live set, the band still reaches for classic cuts from as far back as 2003’s Waking the Fallen. Notably, the band has yet to perform their most recent single “Magic,” released in December 2025 as a tie-in to Call of Duty: Black Ops 7‘s Season 1 patch.
