Avenged Sevenfold kicked off the Latin American leg of their Life Is But a Dream… in San Juan, Puerto Rico, marking the band's return to Latin America and their first time in the country in 15 years.

The concert, held at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico last Wednesday, the 14th, featured 16 songs in the setlist, including well-known classics such as "Afterlife," "Hail to the King," and "Bat Country," as well as more recent tracks like "Game Over" and "Nobody." The repertoire was similar to that performed in previous shows of the same phase of the tour, such as the band's performance at Rock in Rio 2024. 

In addition to revisiting songs that marked their career, the band included "Save Me," which, according to the fan club page a7x frases versos , was one of the most celebrated moments of the night.

The band's last visit to Puerto Rico was in 2011. After performing "Afterlife," vocalist M. Shadows commented on the passage of time, saying, "It's been a long time."
