Black Sabbath hasn’t toured since 2017 when Ozzy Osbourne, Tommy Iommi and Geezer Butler shared the spotlight one final time in Birmingham, GB.
And, while the metal icons plan to stay off the stage for the foreseeable future, Zakk Sabbath, an esteemed tribute group featuring Zakk Wylde (Ozzy’s former guitarist), Robert “Blasko” Nicholson (Ozzy’s bassist) and Joey Castillo (Danzig’s drummer), have announced they will be hitting the road in late 2024 and early 2025 on their ‘King Of The Monstors Tour.’
Over the course of the 30-concert run, the heavy trio will make three stops in New York.
First, Zakk and co. are slated to shred at Albany’s Empire Live on Dec. 30. After that, Sabbath will rock Huntington’s The Paramount on Jan. 4 and Buffalo’s Riverworks on Jan, 5.
At all shows, they’ll be joined by Led Zeppelin tribute act ZOSO and the all-female Iron Maiden cover band The Iron Maidens.
“I remember playing keg parties and people’s kitchens and basements, playing these songs when I was, like, 16 years old,” Wylde told Ultimate Classic Rock. “And here I am, 57 years old, and I’m still playing them, and I’m still in people’s basements and kitchens and backyard keg parties, but there’s just a couple more people there.”
Fans can purchase tickets for all upcoming Zakk Sabbath shows on sites like Vivid Seats; the official on-sale is Friday, Sept. 20.
Vivid Seats is a secondary market ticketing platform, and prices may be higher or lower than face value, depending on demand.
