BLACK LABEL SOCIETY have announced a massive North American headlining tour in support of their upcoming album "Engines Of Demolition." The trek kicks off February 27 at the Boeing Center at Tech Port in San Antonio, Texas, and wraps May 14 at the legendary Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, Tennessee. Zakk Wylde's side project ZAKK SABBATH — the BLACK SABBATH tribute band — will serve as direct support across all dates, giving fans a double dose of Wylde's guitar mastery.
The tour promises setlists blending new material from "Engines Of Demolition" with BLACK LABEL SOCIETY classics spanning the band's 25-year catalog. Wylde has indicated that the shows will feature extended jam sections and guitar showcases, something that has become a hallmark of BLS live performances. The ZAKK SABBATH opening sets will draw from the first six BLACK SABBATH albums, covering the Ozzy Osbourne era that inspired Wylde's own musical journey.
The routing covers approximately 60 dates across major markets including New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, Philadelphia, and Detroit, as well as smaller cities that Wylde has insisted on including. "We play for everyone, not just the big markets," Wylde stated. "Some of the best shows we have ever played were in cities that bigger bands skip." The Nashville closer at the Ryman Auditorium holds special significance, as Wylde has long expressed his admiration for the venue's acoustics and history. VIP packages include meet-and-greet sessions with Wylde, exclusive merchandise, and early venue entry. Tickets go on general sale January 17, with pre-sale access available to BLS fan club members beginning January 14. The tour will feature a full production setup with lighting designed to complement the band's heavy, doom-laden sound.
