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 used the North American Tour 2026 opener on July 25 to debut their 2025 recent single “Magic,” which was released as a tie-in to Call of Duty: Black Ops 7‘s Season 1 patch. The group also unveiled the electronic-influenced STATICA EP in July 2026.
