Black Sabbath extend their world tour to 2014

Less than two weeks before they release their new home video, Black Sabbath have something else to share with fans: new tour dates. And they’ll keep the veteran rockers on the road until April 2014.

The band has been busy the past several months, swinging through North and South Americas, Australia, Asia and — starting next week in Helsinki — Europe in support of "13". And now they’ve added a dozen more dates to their schedule. And if you live in North America, especially in Canada, you’re in luck. The new leg of the tour kicks off on March 31 in New York and wraps up on April 26 in Los Angeles. But in between, the group will hit Great White North cities like Montreal and Calgary. The full itinerary is below.

In the meantime, Sabbath’s new Blu-ray and DVD, "Live … Gathered in Their Masses", comes out on November 26 and features songs from the April 29 and May 1, 2013, tour dates in Melbourne. Fans can preorder it from BlackSabbath.com.

Tickets for the new tour go on sale November 22. The band has set up a site for fans to RSVP for early access to pre-sale tickets, which will be available on November 20.

After Sabbath do one final run through North America, they’ll head back to Europe for a last string of shows there, effectively ending their marathon, yearlong tour in support of their first No. 1 album.
