For the first time in more than a decade, Ozzy Osbourne and Zakk Wylde are together again.

The two will hit the road for a series of Ozzy headlining shows in the U.S. this summer and fall, beginning July 14 (see dates below).  While they’ve performed together over the years, these shows are the first collaboration for the duo for a full tour since 2006.  These dates also mark Ozzy’s first solo tour in the U.S. in years beyond one Ozzy & Friends performance at the Voodoo Music + Arts Experience in New Orleans, LA in October 2015.

Ozzy and Zakk first teamed up 30 years ago when Zakk (who Ozzy describes as “a f***ing absolutely amazing guitar player”) joined Ozzy’s band in 1987; they last recorded in 2007 on Ozzy’s acclaimed Black Rain album.

In addition to reuniting with Zakk Wylde on guitar, Ozzy’s band will include longtime collaborators Blasko (Bass), Tommy Clufetos (Drums) and Adam Wakeman (Keyboards).  Ozzy’s tour dates kick off in July at the Rock USA Festival in Oshkosh, WI with additional dates to be announced in the coming weeks.

“I’m so happy to be getting back on the road with Zakk, Blasko, Tommy and Adam,” said Ozzy Osbourne in a statement.  “This is what I do.  This is where I belong, on the road.”

Osbourne is currently prepping for a new solo album, due out in 2018 on Epic.
