Black Sabbath Unveil More Dates Behind '13,' Add Vancouver Show

BY Gregory AdamsPublished Apr 25, 2013

Gloom masters Black Sabbath have announced more tour dates to help them promote their impending 13 LP.

While the band had previously announced a handful of concerts, including a stop at Toronto's Air Canada Centre on August 14, the expanded itinerary details even more North American dates, with another Canadian stop set for Vancouver. The band will make their way to Rogers Arena on August 22.

From there, the band will travel down the U.S. West Coast before bouncing back to the UK for some shows in December. You can see the tweaked-up tour schedule down below.

As previously reported, 13 drops June 11 via Vertigo/Universal. It's the first studio LP with vocalist Ozzy Osbourne since 1978's Never Say Die!, and the first to feature session drummer/former Rage Against the Machine skinsman Brad Wilk behind the kit. You can stream the ominous and epic, nine-minute first single "God Is Dead?" beneath the tour dates.
