Avenged Sevenfold, A Day To Remember, and Good Charlotte are closing out their summer with a statement. The three bands have announced a one-off headlining show at BMO Stadium in Los Angeles on August 30, 2026, with additional artists still to be announced. It's a sharp escalation from the amphitheater-level co-headline run A7X and Good Charlotte are already running through July and August — and it signals that this collaboration has real stadium ambitions behind it.
BMO Stadium holds around 22,000 for concerts, making this the biggest single date on the entire summer run. Los Angeles has historically been a gravitational center for both Avenged Sevenfold (who are based in Huntington Beach) and the alt-rock/pop-punk crossover crowd that Good Charlotte built their career around. Dropping the final show of the summer at home, at a stadium, with A Day To Remember added to the bill, is a deliberate flex.
The Full Summer Routing
The LA stadium show is the anchor, but it's not the whole picture. A7X and Good Charlotte are already booked for a 16-date amphitheater run leading into the BMO finale. Here's the full routing:
July/August Amphitheater Run:
- July 25 — Ridgedale, MO — Thunder Ridge Nature Arena
- July 27 — Shakopee, MN — Mystic Lake Amphitheater
- July 30 — Tinley Park, IL — Credit Union 1 Amphitheatre
- August 1 — St. Louis, MO — Hollywood Casino Amphitheater
- August 4 — Clarkston, MI — Pine Knob Music Theatre
- August 6 — Toronto, ON — RBC Amphitheatre
- August 8 — Montreal, QC — Bell Centre
- August 10 — Belmont Park, NY — UBS Arena
- August 12 — Mansfield, MA — Xfinity Center
- August 14 — Camden, NJ — Freedom Mortgage Pavilion
- August 16 — Charlotte, NC — PNC Music Pavilion
- August 18 — Tampa, FL — MIDFLORIDA Credit Union Amphitheatre
- August 21 — Dallas, TX — Dos Equis Pavilion
- August 23 — Denver, CO — Ball Arena
- August 25 — Salt Lake City, UT — Utah First Credit Union Amphitheatre
- August 27 — Phoenix, AZ — Talking Stick Resort Amphitheatre
Stadium Closer:
- August 30 — Los Angeles, CA — BMO Stadium (with A Day To Remember + TBA)
That's a month-long run across major markets coast to coast before the big LA finale. The addition of A Day To Remember to the stadium show specifically — rather than the full amphitheater run — suggests ADTR may not be on the entire tour. For now, the announcement just confirms them for August 30 alongside "further artists TBA."
Why A Day To Remember Matters Here
A Day To Remember brings a different energy to this lineup. Where A7X trends toward arena-metal theatrics and Good Charlotte stays rooted in pop-punk nostalgia, ADTR occupies a lane that bridges both worlds — aggressive metalcore breakdowns with the kind of anthemic choruses that fill arenas. Their catalog includes Homesick, What Separates Me from You, and Common Courtesy, albums that helped define a post-hardcore/pop-punk hybrid that still resonates with younger crowds. Adding them to a Los Angeles stadium show broadens the bill's reach considerably.
The three bands have genuine stylistic overlap without being redundant. A7X commands the evening. Good Charlotte provides the crowd-singing nostalgia hits. ADTR brings the breakdown energy and a younger fan base that neither of the other two bands can fully claim. It's a smart card to play for a major market finale.
The A7X + Good Charlotte Co-Headline Context
The A7X/Good Charlotte summer co-headline tour has been building momentum since it was announced in December. At the time, it was positioned as one of 2026's most unexpected pairings — two bands from different corners of the scene, both with massive catalogs and proven live draws, sharing the top billing without a clear opener/headliner hierarchy. That framing was intentional. Both bands carry enough weight to close a show, and the combination draws from two different fan bases that don't always overlap.
The BMO Stadium show is the natural escalation of that logic. If you're going to close a summer tour, you do it at home, at a bigger venue, with a bigger bill. A7X has previously played the Forum, the Rose Bowl, and major LA venues across their career — BMO Stadium represents another level for this specific run.

What to Watch
The announcement notes "further artists TBA" for the BMO Stadium show. That's the next headline waiting to drop. A stadium bill with three established acts and open slots for more suggests whoever comes next will be worth watching for. Whether that's a direct support, a local addition, or a fourth co-headliner isn't clear yet — but the infrastructure is in place for this to grow into one of the summer's biggest rock events.
The A7X catalog since Life Is But a Dream... has proven the band is willing to take creative risks that not every arena-rock act will touch. Whether they bring a production-heavy setlist, lean on Nightmare-era hits, or do something experimental in a stadium environment is still an open question. For LA fans, this is the answer to "when are they coming home."
Mark August 30 on the calendar.
