THE WOODLANDS, Texas – Avenged Sevenfold will headline the second day of 2017’s Monster Energy Houston Open Air, on Oct. 15. It will take place at The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion presented by Huntsman and produced by Danny Wimmer Presents.
In 2016, the weather stopped Avenged Sevenfold from performing.
“We were ecstatic to get the call from Danny Wimmer about playing this year’s Houston Open Air,” stated M. Shadows (vocalist of Avenged Sevenfold). “We love playing Houston, and after last year’s unfortunate weather, we’ve been looking forward to going back and giving our fans there a much-deserved headlining show. Can’t wait to see you all.”
Since Avenged Sevenfold were added to the lineup, Prophets of Rage will be moving to Oct. 14 and be the direct support to Five Finger Death Punch.
“We are excited to remain on Houston Open Air festival,” Tom Morello cited. “Prophets of Rage wants to thank Avenged Sevenfold for stepping up and taking our Sunday headline slot as we have a personal band conflict that makes us unable to play Sunday. Prophets will now make Houston RAGE AGAIN on Saturday, October 14 and Avenged will do the same on Sunday!”
“Avenged Sevenfold was the storm that we wanted to close out the first-ever Houston Open Air, but it’s not the storm we got,” Danny Wimmer (founder of Danny Wimmer Presents) exclaimed. “We’ve been working for a long time to get Avenged Sevenfold back after last year’s weather prevented them from playing. We’re excited to have this second chance to bring the spectacle of A7X to the Houston Open Air stage on Sunday night. And Saturday is going to be amazing, with Prophets of Rage joining Five Five Death Punch, Marilyn Manson, Halestorm, Gojira and more.”
