Avenged Sevenfold Pushes Latin America Tour to 2026 After M. Shadows’ Vocal Hematoma

Tickets will be honored for January 2026 dates during a period of voice rest to prevent surgery.

Overview

  • The band postponed all fall 2025 Latin American dates after M. Shadows was diagnosed with a vocal fold hematoma.
  • Shadows said an Argentine doctor scoped his throat and found a hematoma on his left vocal fold after he felt unwell following Louder Than Life.
  • Avenged Sevenfold plans to move the run to January 2026, with specific dates to be announced next week, and all existing tickets remain valid.
  • Affected stops include Buenos Aires, Santiago, Curitiba, São Paulo, Bogotá, Mexico City and San Juan.
  • Shadows noted he suffered the same injury in 2017 and now expects weeks of silence and months of rehab to avoid another surgery, apologizing to fans, support acts and crew already in the region.
