Interestingly, some fans will get a download of AFI (The Blood Album) with the purchase of a ticket
December 5, 2016
As you know, AFI started teasing the dates of The Blood Tour on December 2, but kept the locations undisclosed. The veil of mystery has been lifted today as the band took to Twitter to reveal all of the locations and dates for the upcoming North American tour (see the dates below).
Listen: AFI Share Two Songs, ‘Snow Cats’ and ‘White Offerings’
Davey Havok and co will be supported by Souvenirs at every show, as well as Nothing and Chain Gang of 1974 at some of the venues. The band also posted a surprising announcement that fans from certain locations will get a download of AFI (The Blood Album) with the purchase of a ticket. The Blood Tour tickets will go on sale this Friday at noon EST.
The Blood Tour kicks off on January 20 in Los Angeles and rounds off on February 20-21 with two shows in a row in San Diego, CA. But before AFI set out on the North American trek, we’ll see them finish out this year with a performance at KROQ’s Almost Acoustic Christmas on December 10.

After the band complete the North American Blood Tour, they will head to the UK for four May/June dates, including their set at Download Festival UK, taking place on June 10, 2017.
AFI have just released their third single from AFI (The Blood Album), titled ‘Aurelia’, following two singles they had shared earlier, ‘Snow Cats’ and ‘White Offerings’. Besides, the band’s fans suspect that Havoc is currently writing new music for Blaqk Audio, judging by the band’s recent studio pics.
To other exciting AFI news, the group’s drummer, Adam Carson, is going to become a father in April 2017! As a result of this announcement, there’s been rumors that he won’t be joining the band on some of the spring or summer tour dates.
