Black Sabbath reuniting

The awesome foursome

Original Black Sabbath members Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi and Geezer Butler, and Osbourne-solo band member Mike Bordin, will perform 26 shows. It will be their first live appearance since 2001.

'Since the April 27 release of the CD/DVD Black Box: The Complete Original Black Sabbath (1970-1978), there's been enormous public demand for a Black Sabbath tour,' said a posting on the Web site.

The main stage of Ozzfest also will include a reunited Judas Priest, Slayer, Dimmu Borgir, Superjoint Ritual (featuring Phil Anselmo) and Zakk Wylde's Black Label Society.
