Black Sabbath have announced a second run of North American dates for their 2016 farewell tour.
The metal icons recently announced their final tour, known as The End, would include shows in North America, Australia, New Zealand and Europe. And now they’ve added a further 18 US and Canada shows to the original batch of 18.
Sabbath say: “Due to overwhelming demand, the road to The End just got longer. On the heels of their much-anticipated performances in North America, Australia, New Zealand and Europe, Black Sabbath will end the epic journey they began nearly five decades ago with another run of North American dates in fall 2016.
“The massive 2016 world tour by the greatest metal band of all time marks The End for Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi and Geezer Butler as they close the final chapter in the final volume of the incredible Black Sabbath story with this tour. It promises to surpass all previous tours and will feature the band’s most mesmerising production ever.”
The extra North American dates start in Wantagh, New York, on August 8 and come to a close in Phoenix, Arizona, on September 21.
They were recently confirmed as Saturday headliners at Download 2016.
The chances of drummer Bill Ward being involved seem very slim, with guitarist Tony Iommi recently saying he doesn’t think it will happen.
