Avenged Sevenfold debuts STATICA EP backstage as tour launches with Good Charlotte

Avenged Sevenfold introduced their four‑track STATICA EP from behind the stage at Thunder Ridge Nature Arena in Ridgeland, Missouri on July 25, 2026. The performance was streamed to the audience on large screens as part of the production, marking the first live presentation of the EP, which had been released without notice on July 23. The EP, produced by Joe Barresi, features electronic and autotuned vocals and includes the track “Magic,” tied to the video‑game Call of Duty: Black Ops 7.

Two days later, the band co‑headlined the North‑American leg of their tour with Good Charlotte at the newly opened Mystic Lake Amphitheater in Shakopee, Minnesota. More than 14,000 fans attended the venue’s inaugural concert, with Avenged Sevenfold and Good Charlotte each delivering sets that highlighted both classic hits and new material. The tour runs through August 30 across major U.S. cities before heading abroad to New Zealand, Australia and Asia.
