A personal invitation to kick off every single show on Black Sabbath’s upcoming North American tour is a surefire way to guarantee notoriety in the music industry. Andrew W.K., known as the King of Partying, will begin every night of the tour with an exclusive DJ set to get concert attendees in the mood for Sabbath’s heavy metal.
Andrew says his set will be full of classic, heavy, blistering guitar riffs—powerful metal spanning all the best eras of rock. His excitement about being included on such a prestigious bill, and touring with personal heroes of his own, is almost tangible in this statement he offered regarding the high honour.
“I’m just shocked. It’s just the most incredible dream come true! This is the greatest honor I could be given. I remember when the phone rang and I first heard that Black Sabbath wanted me to be their exclusive opening act. I was really in a state of disbelief – almost sick with amazement and excitement. It took about 3 days until I fully mastered the reality of this opportunity and realized it was really going to happen. Black Sabbath’s music changed my life from the first time I heard it, and this tour will change my life all over again. I couldn’t be more thankful or humbled by this one-in-a-billion miracle. Can this really be real!? What kind of adventure will this be!?”
