Black Label Society to rock America next year
Longtime Ozzy Osbourne guitarist Zakk Wylde will take his other band, Black Label Society , on a run of North American dates next spring.
More than 20 coast-to-coast shows stretching from early March to late April are confirmed for the "Black Label Bash" tour, and those are just the dates offering pre-sale opportunities, according to BLS's website. The full trek, which marks the band's first North American outing since the fall of '07, will be announced shortly. Confirmed gigs are listed below and information about pre-sale tickets and VIP packages is available at Black Label Society's website.
The hard rockers are just finishing a European jaunt and getting ready to release a greatest-hits album in the spring.
"The time felt good to get back on the bus with the guys back home," Wylde said in a statement announcing the tour.
BLS's latest album, 2006's "Shot to Hell," marked its debut on Roadrunner Records. The set peaked at No. 21 on The Billboard 200 and spawned mainstream-rock hits "Blood is Thicker Than Water" and "Concrete Jungle."
A 19-year-old Wylde was recruited into Osbourne's band in 1987 and formed Black Label Society in 1998. The rocker serves as BLS's sole songwriter, vocalist and lead guitarist, while maintaining his position in Osbourne's lineup.
