Black Sabbath announce final show at Ozzfest Japan

Black Sabbath have confirmed plans for their final show as a band.

After releasing their nineteenth record ‘13’ back in 2013, the trio confirmed that they’d be releasing one final full-length and planned to play one last show together this year before calling it a day permanently. Now, the band have confirmed that their final show will be taking place in Japan this November, when they headline the second day of Ozzfest Japan.

The heavy metal titans will be appearing at the event on 22nd November - the second day of the festival - at the Makuhari Messe venue, which sits just outside Tokyo. Korn will be headlining the former evening of the event, on 21st November.

According to Billboard, the three members - Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi and Geezer Butler - are also hoping to be joined to former drummer Bill Ward, after his departure from the band back in 2012.

Black Sabbath are also apparently now working on the follow-up to ‘13’ with Rick Rubin.
