Avenged Sevenfold and Good Charlotte Add BMO Stadium to 2026 Tour
Avenged Sevenfold and Good Charlotte just gave Los Angeles a reason to lose it. The two bands have added a one-night-only show at BMO Stadium on Sunday, August 30th, turning their already stacked 2026 co-headlining tour into a 17-city run with a proper LA sendoff. A Day to Remember is confirmed as support for the LA date, with additional special guests still to be announced.
I'll be real, this lineup on a stadium stage in LA feels like it was designed in a lab specifically for anyone who grew up on early 2000s rock and never looked back. Two bands with deep Southern California roots, decades of friendship between them, and a crowd that's going to know every single word. That's a recipe for something memorable.

The tour kicks off July 25th in Ridgedale, Missouri, at Thunder Ridge Nature Arena and was originally set to wrap August 27th in Phoenix. With the BMO Stadium addition, that finale now shifts to LA three days later. Here's the full run:

How to Get Tickets
For the BMO Stadium date specifically, priority access goes to Deathbats Club members and Good Charlotte Rewards members first. If you're part of either loyalty program or hold an Early Access TicketPass, your request window opens Tuesday, March 17th at 10 AM PT and closes at 10 PM PT that same day. Requests get processed and confirmed on Wednesday, March 18th.
Quick breakdown on how that works: TicketPass is part of a verification-based rewards system built by Avenged Sevenfold and Bitflips. Deathbat Rewards and Good Charlotte Rewards are both free loyalty programs you can sign up for with just an email or a digital wallet. You earn points by streaming music, buying merch, and going to shows. During the presale, fans authenticate through their Dapp wallet or email, submit their ticket request, and then get a Ticketmaster confirmation once things are processed. The whole system is designed to cut out bots and scalpers, which honestly, more bands should be doing.
Additional presales run ahead of the general on-sale, which hits Friday, March 20th at 10 AM local time. VIP packages will be available from both acts. Avenged Sevenfold is offering two VIP tiers: a behind-the-scenes backstage tour and an early-entry merchandise package. Good Charlotte's VIP includes early entry to the floor, a VIP-only merch item, a laminate with special Motel Du Cap artwork by Benji Madden, and VIP holders get to vote on where a portion of VIP sales proceeds are donated. That last part is a nice touch.

Why This Tour Matters
Both of these bands are coming off significant album cycles. Avenged Sevenfold released Life Is But a Dream... in June 2023 through Warner Records, their first record in nearly seven years after The Stage in 2016. They've also been dropping new music, with the track Magic arriving in late 2025. The band clearly isn't slowing down.
Good Charlotte dropped Motel Du Cap in August 2025 on Atlantic Records. It's their eighth studio album and their first in seven years since Generation Rx in 2018. This tour also marks their first North American run since 2018, so if you've been waiting to see them back on the road, this is it.
Honestly, the pairing makes a ton of sense. Both bands came up in the same era, share roots in the same Southern California scene, and have a real friendship that goes back decades. This isn't a random package deal. It's two groups that genuinely make sense on the same bill, playing for a crowd that grew up on both of them.
Don't Sleep on This One
A stadium show in LA with Avenged Sevenfold, Good Charlotte, and A Day to Remember plus more guests to be named? As the final stop of the entire tour? That's the kind of show where the energy is going to be on another level. If you're anywhere near Southern California, get your presale access sorted now and be ready when tickets drop. This will sell.
