Announced overnight - 19 April 2016, as part of their "The End" Tour.

Other Australian dates are Perth April 15, Adelaide April 17, Sydney April 23 and Brisbane April 25.

The Melbourne date is a Tuesday, so it is unlikely to interfere with your Collingwood watching.

Is it hard to play electric guitar over a walking frame? Shocked

You tell me. Do you play?

Oh, you know, here and there. Here's an old video of me from my younger days.

Here's Tony from last month. No walking frame, yet - he's still standing unassisted, apparently.

As for your video, that's good, although I'm surprised to hear that "Hey Joe" is a favourite of yours. Anyway, I bought a double-CD set of your August 1970 concert last week (Atlanta, Isle of Wight - I can't remember - it was just the new one on the shelves at JB) - anyway, it was great. Thanks.

When are you coming to Melbourne next? I always wanted to hear you live.

Just give me a chair and I'm in!

Nic Ellison's comment is a little harsh, if fair.

I wonder what he really thought about it?

When are tickets being released P4S?

Sabbath are an awesome band! Love the classics such as Ironman, Paranoid, War Pigs and Into the Void to name a few.

^^^ I can't find anything on ticket release dates, yet, Jezza.

Three dates, Jezza - the "Telstra Thanks" pre-sale starts 2 pm AEST on 15 September, the "Live Nation" pre-sale starts 2 pm on 18 September and the general public sale starts at 10 am on 21 September 2015.

I don't think that ticket pricing has been released, yet. Presumably, it will be prohibitive....

Thanks for providing the dates P4S.

It was nothing.
