The Avett Brothers have announced that their New Year's Eve performance on Dec. 31, 2013, will take place at Charlotte's Time Warner Cable Arena. Shovels and Rope is slated as the opener.

The Concord-based folk-rock outfit, who will release its eighth studio album, Magpie and the Dandelion, on Oct. 15, last performed in Charlotte in August of 2011.

The Avett Brothers traditionally performed on New Year's Eve in Charlotte until 2009 when the concert was held in Asheville, and again in 2010. In 2011, the show was held in Greenville, S.C. and last year in Greensboro, N.C.

Fan club ticket pre-sales start on Sept. 17. Public on-sale begins on Sept. 20.
