US TOUR EXTENDED

Last evening, right after I posted the update about the European dates being postponed, the extended US Tour dates were posted. I’ve updated the 1999 Tour dates page with all of them. Check out the full list now. These dates are not Ozzfest dates, they’re Black Sabbath dates (with Drain STH & Godsmack as openers). […]

OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE: SABBATH — LONDON GIG POSTPONED – NOT CANCELED

Due to the overwhelming success of Black Sabbath’s "Farewell Tour" of the U.S., SFX Entertainment, the producers of the tour, have decided to pick up their option to extend the tour until the end of August. Black Sabbath want their British fans to know that this is definitely not a cancellation, just a postponement, and […]

SITE STUFF

I’ve been getting a bunch of complaints about not having updated the site in awhile. One thing to say to that.. "What the hell?" Keep in mind I’m not the band – I’m just a fan like you are. I’ve been real busy of late, and haven’t had the time. Also, the second reason has […]

MORE ON OZZFEST ’99

Did some checking, and I now have online what I believe to be the official list of tour dates. Check it out.

MORE ON OZZFEST ’99

Here’s some stuff that I’ve found out over the last week about the Ozzfest tour. Yes, Black Sabbath (Ozzy/Tony/Geezer/Bill) are playing Ozzfest ’99. Yes, Geoff Nicholls will be there to play keyboards/back up Ozzy again. Yes, the dates appear to be official. Yes, Judas Priest had to pull out due to recording issues (DAMMIT!) Yes, […]

REUNION TOUR

Well, the "Reunion" tour is done for now. The last word I got appears to still stand, which is these dates will be rescheduled at some point (Denver, Salt Lake City, Peoria, & Ames). As far as I can tell, nothing else will be rescheduled, which is backed by the bomb of Email I got […]

BLACK SABBATH TO DO OZZFEST ’99

Well, I still haven’t gotten word from band management, but I did get two pieces of information (one being a phone call from a very good source) saying that Black Sabbath will be doing Ozzfest ’99. No word whether or not they’ll headline, but I would assume so. From what I can gather, this is […]

RESCHEDULE CLARIFICATION

I was fairly confused yesterday afternoon as to which of the remaining 6 announced dates were to be cancelled, and which were to be rescheduled (the reason for this is that the Sony site said that the remaining 5 dates were to be cancelled, and there were 6). Anyways, the remark on their site was […]

TONY IOMMI ENGAGED?

I was sent this link by two folks in Sweden last night. It’s in Swedish, so I couldn’t immediately translate it, which is why I waited until now to post this. In short, it proports that Tony Iommi is engaged to one of the girls from Drain STH. I have no idea whether or not […]

OZZFEST ’99?

I’m also hearing some rumours about Sabbath and Ozzfest ’99. For now, that’s all they are. Rumours. My gut feeling says that this probably won’t happen. Given all the recent health problems, I’d be surprised if Oz tries to go out on tour at all in the near future.
