Trending Now

Black Sabbath have announced additional dates on their farewell tour. The 61-date world tour, The End, will wrap in the band’s home town of Birmingham, in February 2017.

The news was announced at Download, where the band are this weekend playing a headline slot. Flyers were handed out to festival goers revealing the dates of the 6-date final leg of the tour, aptly named “The End”.

Guitarist Tony Iommi has previously admitted his hopes to have the band’s final show in Birmingham: “when we’re home where we started, we always find it a bit nerve-wracking. But Birmingham means such a lot to us. It would be nice to think it could finish where it all started in Birmingham”.
