The initial North American dates of Ozzy Osbourne's No More Tours 2 - a reference to his 1992 No More Tours trek - produced by Live Nation kick off August 30th in Allentown, PA and conclude October 13th in Las Vegas, NV. Ozzy will be joined by Stone Sour for this leg of the tour.
Prior to the full North American run, Ozzy will officially launch the No More Tours 2 in Mexico in May, before heading to South America for solo shows in three countries. Next up, a six-week European leg of headlining solo dates and festival performances that's set to begin June 1st in Moscow, Russia.
"I've been extremely blessed to have had two successful music careers," Osbourne says. "I'm looking at this final tour as being a huge celebration for my fans and anyone who has enjoyed my music over the past five decades."
On his upcoming farewell world tour, produced by Live Nation, Osbourne will celebrate more than five decades as a performer (both as a solo artist and as lead singer of Black Sabbath which formed in 1968). This tour, expected to take Ozzy around the world with dates into 2020, will mark the end of global touring for the legendary artist, though he will continue to perform select live shows in the future. Throughout his career, Ozzy has sold more than 100 million records.
