Avenged Sevenfold To Hold Free Concert At First Avenue

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- We get a lot of concerts rolling through the Twin Cities - Luke Bryan and Metallica are playing this Friday and Saturday at U.S. Bank Stadium, but there's another concert you can go to for free.

The heavy metal band Avenged Sevenfold announced Wednesday it will put on a free concert in Minneapolis. It's Thursday night at First Avenue.

Doors open at 7 p.m. and the show starts at around 9 p.m. There are no tickets to reserve -- instead they'll let in the first 1,500 people.

They'll also be playing at U.S. Bank Stadium on Saturday before Metallica, but said they got to Minneapolis a bit early and wanted to give a free show.
