Great news this morning for our friends across the pond as Black Sabbath have announced plans to hit the road this fall in support of their forthcoming reunion album, 13, their first with Ozzy Osbourne since 1978.

Before anyone here in the states complains about the lack of stops here in the home front, Black Sabbath announced North American dates a few months back, with tickets going on sale April 13.

The new album features original vocalist Ozzy along with guitarist Tony Iommi, bassist Geezer Butler and will be released in June. Original drummer Bill Ward did not participate due to a contract dispute.

The band will be launching a tour of the UK and Europe on November 20th in Helsinki. The tour will include stops in Sweden, Denmark, Holland, Germany, France, Italy and the Czech Republic.

The UK leg is set to kick off on December 10th at the O2 Arena in London and will feature stops in Belfast, Sheffield, Glasgow, Manchester and Birmingham.
