Black Sabbath Announces ‘Last Show Ever In The U.S.’
When Black Sabbath added a new batch of U.S. dates to “The End” world tour last fall, we pointed out that the band hadn’t specified which performance was its final concert ever. Although the last scheduled stop on the itinerary is Dec. 4 in Sao Paulo, Brazil, it’s still not clear if that’s it for the band. But Black Sabbath has now declared that its last show in the U.S. will take place Nov. 12 at AT&T Center in San Antonio, Texas.
The other new U.S. gigs are booked in Tulsa, Okla., and Houston, a few weeks after Black Sabbath rocks “Ozzfest Meets Knotfest” Sept. 24 in San Bernardino, Calif.
We’ll have to wait and see when and where Black Sabbath will wrap up its epic journey that began in Birmingham, England, in 1968.
