Ozzy Osbourne And Zakk Wylde Reunite For 2017 Tour

For the first time in more than a decade, Ozzy Osbourne and Zakk Wylde are together again.

Known as one of rock’s most lethal singer and guitarist pairings, the two will hit the road for a series of Ozzy headlining shows in the U.S. this summer and fall, beginning July 14 (*see dates below). While they’ve performed together over the years, these shows are the first collaboration for the duo for a full tour since 2006. These dates also mark Ozzy’s first solo tour in the U.S. in years beyond one Ozzy & Friends performance at the Voodoo Music + Arts Experience in New Orleans, LA in October 2015.
 
Ozzy and Zakk first teamed up 30 years ago when Zakk (who Ozzy describes as “a fucking absolutely amazing guitar player”) joined Ozzy’s band in 1987; they last recorded in 2007 on Ozzy’s acclaimed Black Rain album.

In addition to reuniting with Zakk Wylde on guitar, Ozzy’s band will include longtime collaborators Blasko (Bass), Tommy Clufetos (Drums) and Adam Wakeman (Keyboards). Ozzy’s tour dates kick off in July at the Rock USA Festival in Oshkosh, WI with additional dates to be announced in the coming weeks.
 
“I’m so happy to be getting back on the road with Zakk, Blasko, Tommy and Adam,” says Osbourne. “This is what I do. This is where I belong, on the road.”

“I’m really looking forward to the hardcore powerlifting training sessions with Ozzy as well as playing music in between sets of heavy squats, Benching and deadlifts,” Zakk Wylde adds.

Next up for Ozzy: prepping for a new solo album for 2018 on Epic.

Ozzy’s initial 2017 tour dates are as follows:
July:
14 Oshkosh, WI Rock USA Festival
16 Chicago, IL Chicago Open Air Festival
August:
9 Sturgis, SD Buffalo Chip
21 Cartersville, IL Moonstock Festival

Sharron!!!

I'd like to bang her once. I bet she's into CBT. She definitely has to be a Domme.

[GEMINIGUY]

They ought to be a Hell of a show!

They ought to be a Hell of a show!

They ought to be? No, shit! They HAVE worked with each other before, remember Zakk was the longest running Ozzy guitarist! He's known Ozzy since 1987!

[GEMINIGUY]

No need to be a jerk about it.

[freddy1984]

Well your statement is ludicrous. If you're happy that they reunited then say it. I for one am happy he's working again with Zakk cause besides Jake E. Lee, he was the next closest guitarist that could play Randy Rhoads' riffs perfectly.

Great to hear they will be touring together.  Maybe Jake E. Lee is next but somehow I doubt it, LOL!

Jake has his own band, Jake E. Lee's Red Dragon Cartel, go check them out. No, Jake won't be reuniting with Ozzy anytime soon.
