Black Sabbath is working on new material, and they are planning to cash in huge next year with a huge world tour. Dates are already trickling in, but don't get too excited my North American junkies, because so far only European dates have been announced. Sabbath will basically be making the rounds on the summer European festivals and then hopefully head over here for a proper run, possibly the return of Ozzfest, possibly with Judas Preist and Motorhead? That's all speculation on my part, but here is Sabbath's current European routing:
May 18 – Moscow, Russia – Olimpiski
May 20 – St. Petersburg, Russia – New Arena
May 23 – Helsinki, Finland – Hartwall Arena
May 25 – Stockholm, Sweden – Stadium
May 29 – Bergen, Norway – Bergen Calling Festival
May 31 – Oslo, Norway – Spektrum
Jun. 02 – Malmö, Sweden – Malmö Stadium
Jun. 04 – Dortmund, Germany – Westfalenhalle
Jun. 10 – Donnington, UK – Download Festival
Jun. 12 – Rotterdam, Holland – Ahoy
Jun. 15 – Bilbao, Spain – Azkena Rock Festival
Jun. 17 – Nantes, France – Hellfest
Jun. 19 – Paris, France – Bercy
Jun. 22 – Dessel, Belgium – Graspop Metal Meeting
Jun. 24 – Milan, Italy – Gods of Metal
