Zakk Sabbath, the Black Sabbath tribute band, has announced that they will be embarking on the “Tour Forever / Forever Tour” this winter. It is set to kick off on December 5 in Sacramento, CA with additional stops in Salt Lake City, Denver, Chicago and Atlanta. It concludes in Los Angeles, CA on January 20, 2024. The Native Howl will join the band for the duration of the tour. Tickets will go on sale Friday, October 6 at 10 am local time. See the full itinerary below.
Zakk Sabbath consists of guitarist/vocalist Zakk Wylde bassist Robert “Blasko” Nicholson and drummer Joey Castillo.
Zakk told Rolling Stone about performing Black Sabbath’s classic discography: “Going back to high-school keg parties, we’d be playing songs by Rush, Sabbath, [Jimi] Hendrix, whatever [in a cover band], and one person would sing the Rush stuff, someone could do The Doors, and I’d end up doing the Sabbath or Ozzy stuff. It’s hilarious to me, because we were 17 years old playing keg parties at a friend’s house and now I’m [56] years old and I’m still playing ‘N.I.B.’ and Sabbath songs at keg parties, except there’s a couple more people.”
In 2020, the band released their own rendition of Black Sabbath’s debut album called Vertigo in honor of the album’s 50th anniversary.
