The past few months have been busy ones for BLACK SABBATH. Following hugely successful shows in North and South America, Australia, Asia and Europe, the band won its second Grammy Award when the song "God Is Dead?" picked up the trophy for "Best Metal Performance".

The group will kick off another North American tour on March 31 with a show at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. In the weeks that follow, the trek will hit ten cities in Canada, including stops in Quebec, Montreal, Ottawa, Calgary and Edmonton, before it wraps on April 26 at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, California. These dates are part of the band’s final shows of its 2013-14 world tour in support of its first studio album in 35 years, "13". A resounding success, the album entered the charts at #1 in 13 countries (including their first #1 in the U.S.). Another run of European festivals and headlining shows will follow this summer.
