"We appreciate our fans so much and felt terrible that we had to miss the Uproar show in October," says M. Shadows. "We want to make it up to those in the Bay Area by adding this free show to our 'Buried Alive' tour and making sure that anyone who was supposed to see us that night in Northern California will get the best seats in the house." The tour takes its name from "Buried Alive," the fourth single from the Huntington Beach, CA, rock band's gold album Nightmare. All three previous singles from Nightmare - the title track, "Welcome to the Family," and "So Far Away" - have peaked at No. 1 on the Active Rock chart. Released worldwide in July 2010, Nightmare earned A7X its highest-ever debut on the Billboard album chart when it bowed at No. 1 and topped Billboard's Rock, Hard Rock, and Digital charts.
