Last night (March 6th), Avenged Sevenfold kicked off their 2024 tour at the KeyBank Center in Buffalo, New York. The show commenced the latest leg of their Life Is but a Dream... run, and the Deathbat crew rolled out a brand new setlist to mark the occasion.
"Roman Sky" and "Cosmic" got their live debuts, "Shepherds of Fire" returned to the fold, and A7X played "Save Me" and "Blinded in Chains" for the first time in 13 and 18 years, respectively.
Post-genre powerhouse Poppy and EDM headbanger Sullivan King opened the show, and A7X's whole production looked incredible.
Photographer Sara Schmidle was there to capture Avenged in action — see some of her standout shots below.
