Tony Iommi Announces 2024 World Tour, Marking His Return to the Stage After Nearly a Decade
Legendary Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi has stunned fans worldwide by announcing his long-awaited return to live performance. The 2024 world tour will be Iommi’s first major solo outing since the band’s The End tour wrapped up in 2017, marking an exciting new chapter in his storied career.
The tour, which kicks off in May 2024 in Birmingham, England—his hometown—will span multiple continents, including stops in Europe, North America, South America, and Asia. Known for his pioneering riffs and dark, heavy sound, Iommi promises a setlist blending classics from Black Sabbath’s catalog with his acclaimed solo material.
“I’ve missed playing live and connecting with the fans,” Iommi shared in an official statement. “This tour has been in the works for a while, and I’m thrilled to finally make it happen. Expect some surprises.”
Fans are speculating about possible guest appearances, given Iommi’s history of collaborations with artists like Ozzy Osbourne, Brian May, and Glenn Hughes. However, details about the band lineup and special guests remain under wraps for now.
Tickets for the tour are expected to sell out quickly, with pre-sale registration already open on Iommi’s official website. Fans are eagerly awaiting the full tour schedule, which is set to be revealed next week.
This announcement has ignited a wave of excitement across the rock and metal community, with many hailing Iommi’s return as a monumental event in the genre’s history. After years of focusing on studio work and philanthropic efforts, the “godfather of heavy metal” is ready to bring his legendary riffs back to the stage—and fans couldn’t be more thrilled.
