Yesterday it was announced that Iron Maiden was going to play Ozzfest along with Black Sabbath. However, it appears that Iron Maiden is not playing the FULL set of Ozzfest gigs. If you look at the listed tour dates on Iron Maiden’s website, the last one they list is August 20th (Los Angeles). The seven […]

I was waiting until I had my big update ready before I posted anything new, but this one was a bit too big to not say something about. Today the Ozzfest 2005 Tour Dates were announced. They are: Jul. 15 – Boston, MA – Tweeter Center Jul. 17 – Hartford, CT – Meadows Jul. 19 […]

Overnight another concert date has come to light. This one is June 25th in Athens, Greece. The gig will take place at the Terra Vibe venue, and will be part of the Rockwave Festival. The list of known dates on the 2005 tour is available on the 2005 Tour Dates Page here on my site. […]

Overnight I got an email from Adam Wakeman who handled keyboard duties (what that they were) on the Ozzfest 2004 gigs. Adam told me that he will be handling keyboards again for Black Sabbath during their 2005 live dates. I was curious about this, as keyboards have mostly been hidden – the keyboardist in Black […]

Two more Sabbath European tour dates have come to light. They are: June 23rd in Sofia, Bulgaria & a second Norweigan date, that being July 9th in Bergen. That brings the total number of dates to 11 at the moment; they are: Jun 09 – Dortmund, GER @ Westfalenhalle 1 Jun 11 – Derbyshire, UK […]

More Black Sabbath European dates have come to light. While none of these have still been officially confirmed to me by Black Sabbath’s management, I have no reason at this point to believe they’re false. Putting them together with the already known dates, that makes the 2005 tour itinerary this: Jun. 09 – Dortmund, GER […]

A news story posted this afternoon over at blabbermouth says that Ozzfest 2005 will hit the US with Black Sabbath & Iron Maiden headlining. Along with that will be a “classic” version (read not the current version) of Anthrax. While it’s really cool we have Black Sabbath and Iron Maiden on Ozzfest, I’m a little […]

This morning I was sent news that some more Black Sabbath European Tour Dates have come to light. These dates are: Jul. 03 – Stockholm, SWE @ Globen Jul. 07 – Oslo, NOR @ Oslo Spektrum That brings the dates I have to 6. It’s pretty spotty as we still don’t have a complete itinerary […]

This morning brings the news that another date has been revealed on what is seeming to look like a full fledged European tour this summer by Black Sabbath. This date is June 18th in Nijmegen, Holland at the “Fields of Rock” Festival. No further dates are available at this time, but it now brings the […]

Well, given that the news is all over the place, and at this point, the cat is pretty much out of the bag, I’ve gone and set up my 2005 Tourdates page. There’s not a whole lot of dates there yet – in fact the only two are the already mentioned Roskilde date in Denmark, […]
