Avenged Sevenfold and Good Charlotte roll into UBS Arena on Monday, August 10 at 6:00 PM ET for a night of heavy hitters and pop-punk nostalgia. The show itself is indoors, so once you’re through the doors, the setlist is the only forecast that matters.
Getting There
The National Weather Service calls for a sunny day with a high near 90°F and wind out of the west at 7 to 13 mph — chance of rain is just 9%, so you’re not likely to get caught in a downpour. The heat is really only a factor for the walk from parking to the arena entrance. If you’re arriving early for merch or tailgating in the lot, expect a warm, sunny stretch before you get inside.
Once you’re through security, UBS Arena is climate-controlled, so the 90°F outside won’t follow you in. Arenas can actually run on the cool side once the AC kicks in and the crowd settles — a light layer isn’t a bad idea if you tend to get cold sitting through a long set.
Gear Up for the Show
This is a merch-table night. Rep your fandom with an Avenged Sevenfold t-shirt before you even find your seat, or grab an Avenged Sevenfold hoodie for that light layer once the venue cools down. Completing the look, an Avenged Sevenfold hat or an Avenged Sevenfold poster for the wall back home rounds out the haul.
A5’s shows run loud, and with two bands on the bill it’s a long night of volume — a set of concert ear plugs high fidelity lets you protect your hearing without losing the mix.
Practical Tips
Give yourself extra time getting to Belmont Park — parking lots fill up fast for a 6 PM start, and the walk-in adds up in the heat. Bring a bag that meets the venue’s clear-bag policy if you’re checking one, and stay hydrated before you get inside, since the sun will be out in full force during the pregame walk. Once you’re in your seat, it’s all about Avenged Sevenfold and Good Charlotte — the weather’s job is done.
