Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee and Grammy®-winning singer and songwriter Ozzy Osbourne earlier today (February 6th) revealed details about his forthcoming No More Tour 2 a reference to his 1992 No More Tours trek. The announcement by the legendary musical icon about the North American dates–with his longtime collaborators Zakk Wylde (Guitar), Blasko (Bass), Tommy Clufetos (Drums) and Adam Wakeman (Keyboards)–was made to international media in attendance at his Los Angeles home.
The initial North American dates produced by Live Nation kick off August 30th in Allentown, PA and conclude October 13th in Las Vegas, NV with a Thursday, October 11th stop at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles; Ozzy will be joined by Stone Sour for this leg of the tour. Tickets for these shows go on sale to the general public starting Saturday, February 17 at 10:00 AM (local time) at LiveNation.com and through the Live Nation app. Citi® is the official presale credit card of the tour. As such, Citi® cardmembers will have access to purchase presale tickets beginning Wednesday, February 14th at 10:00 AM (local time) until Friday, February 16 at 10:00 PM (local time) through Citi’s Private Pass® program. For complete presale details visit citiprivatepass.com.
Prior to the full North American run, Ozzy will officially launch the No More Tour 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 Friday, 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.
Want to hear more about the tour from the Prince of Darkness himself? Ozzy has partnered with Ticketmaster to spread the word about the tour with a new message on the Ticketmaster app for the Google Assistant on phones, speakers like Google Home and other compatible devices. Fans can trigger the app by saying, “Hey Google, talk to Ticketmaster,” which will offer special messages from the Prince of Darkness himself. Fans will then be invited by Sharon Osbourne to hear details about Ozzy’s upcoming Live Nation tour dates. This new marketing tool expands the ways for Ozzy’s millions of fans to find out about his tour and provides a fun, first of its kind experience.
For the tour, Ozzy has teamed with the Love, Hope, Strength Foundation At Love Hope Strength (LHS), their mission is to save lives, one concert at a time. We, along with Love Hope Strength, believe that all people deserve quality cancer care, a marrow donor if needed, and most importantly, hope.

Gosh, it seems to me there are so many tours that are lined up for 2018 across the United States. Competition for the almighty dollar from fans’ pockets is fierce this year. Tours seem like they are getting announced and tickets available for sale earlier and earlier. For example Elton John announced his “Farewell” tour a about a year before it began, and Helloween also announced its American tour about a year in advance just to play in clubs! Ticket prices also seem like they grow higher with the voluminous touring schedules. It makes it hard for fans to pick and choose which concerts to attend, if they can even afford to attend one. Heck, I remember paying $10 for KI$$ in 1979!!
Now, I would love to see Ozzy cuz I’ve never seen him with Zakk, but I already have tickets for a few concerts this Summer. So, I will have to review the concert budget and see if I can squeeze it in between family activities/vacations already planned for this Summer.
1979, those were the days!
ALL ABOARD!! HA HA HA HA HA HA!!!! April 29th, I’m going off the rails on a “Crazy Train!!” 😉 Cheers!
I agree with you Ratrtlehead…some serious avarice going on in the world of touring. Plus living in the Portland area, many of them barely come close the Pacific NW! I guess we’re all to stoned to buy up tickets right away and instead wait until the last minute…..
i think no more tours 3 will be the charm.
Great that Zakks back with Ozzy, looking forward to seeing them in mountain view.
