Mark Weiss – Ozzy and Zakk Wylde

After postponing several shows this year because of an infection, Ozzy Osbourne has announced make-up dates for those shows, which will close out a full North American leg in 2019. Megadeth will open those shows.
Backing Ozzy on the new dates will be Zakk Wylde on guitar, Blasko on bass, Tommy Clufetos on drums and Adam Wakeman on keys.

The second North American leg kicks off May 29 at State Farm Arena in Atlanta and continues to July 29 at Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles. That closer is the last of the four makeups in markets including San Diego; Phoenix; and Mountain View, Calif.

The “No More Tours 2” tour is to be Ozzy’s final worldwide tour as a solo artist, though it is expected to continue into 2020.  Reports from the first North American leg are just starting to come in, with an Aug. 30 show at PPL Center in Allentown, Pa., reporting a gross of $761,332 on 8,336 tickets. The opener for that show was Stone Sour. 

A Citi Cardmember presale for the new leg begins Nov. 6 at 10 a.m. and the general onsale starts Nov. 9 at 10 a.m. All times local. 

Ozzy is also scheduled to take on Europe, Australia and Japan in the beginning of 2019. The Euro leg starts Jan. 30 in Dublin, moves to Australia March 9, and Japan March 21. 

A few weeks back Ozzy announced that he would be staging his first-ever New Year’s edition of Ozzfest at the Forum in Inglewood, Calif. The host venue for that event was part of a recently concluded legal battle between Ozzy and AEG, with Osbourne essentially decrying block-booking practices linking artists to both The O2 – London, and the Staples Center in Los Angeles. The suit was dropped after AEG Presents CEO Jay Marciano offered public comment stating the company will no longer block book those venues.
