The mighty Black Sabbath will headline an epic event at London’s Hyde Park this summer.

Dubbed Black Sabbath Time (part of the British Summer Time series), the one-day spectacular on Friday 4th July boasts a plethora of rock talent across its three stages.

Joining Ozzy, Geezer and Tony are Soundgarden, Gallows, Faith No More, Motorhead, Soulfly, Hell, Ningen, Rise To Remain and many more.

Ozzy Osbourne said: “The first time I came to London I didn't have a pot to piss in and I spent the advance I got for the first album on a new pair of shoes and some Brut aftershave.

“Returning almost 50 years on, we are doing a bit better for ourselves so I may even splash out on some new aftershave before taking to the stage at Hyde Park, the most beautiful park in London that has opened its gates to so many legends in the past.

“We are beyond honoured to be allowed to put on a show and hope that the Royals will enjoy it!"
