Do you remember on November 11, 2011, at 11:11am, we got the announcement that Black Sabbath will reunite? Seems like the English rock band will be stopping by Minneapolis next Monday January 25th, as part of their "The End" tour. As the title suggest, this is their final tour. This will be your last chance to see the legendary Ozzy Osbourne band.

If you're in the market, all eight original Black Sabbath albums (featuring Ozzy on vocals) were reissued last year on 180g vinyl.

California rock band Rival Sons to open.

Read More The Knocks I've briefly mentioned The Knocks before, and I've complained that they didn't list a biography on their page (it's hard to write about a band when they're so cryptic). Anyway, I found out more about them .... Cardiknox LA-based dance-pop duo Cardiknox has debuted a new single and video for 'On My Way.' The song is taken from their forthcoming 2016 album, and the band has announced a January/February tour ....

New York duo The Knocks (Ben “B-Roc” Ruttner and James “JPatt” Patterson) is back in town, this time headlining their "Route 55 Tour", in support of their forthcoming 55 album. The record is coming out March 4, 2016, on Big Beat/Neon Gold.

LA-based dance-pop duo Cardiknox (Lonnie Angle and Thomas Dutton) is currently on tour with The Knocks. Cardiknox will likely play tracks from their forthcoming 2016 album, including lead single "Doors" and new single "On My Way". Already their tracks are high on the Spotify Global Charts and BlackBook lists "Doors" as one of the "Top 10 Uncharted Pop Songs To Know Now".

Also, semi-local (Eau Claire) band Sloslylove (aka Feng Meng Vue) will also appear.

Americana singer/songwriter Ryan Bingham, famous for collaborating with Grammy-winning producer T Bone Burnett on the soundtrack for Crazy Heart (the title track went on to win Bingham an Academy Award, Golden Globe Award, and Critics' Choice Award for “Best Song” in 2010, as well as a Grammy Award for "Best Song Written for a Motion Picture, Television or Other Visual Media" in 2011).

Bingham's latest Fear and Saturday Night will be out January 20th via Axster/Bingham Records.

Emerging LA-based band Bird Dog will open the show. They are currently touring in support of their debut EP Misty Shrub, due January 22 on IAMSOUND Records. The EP is already receving critical buzz from Paste (“It's this South-Central Americana-meets- Laurel Canyon vibe that first grabs your attention listening to these songs”) to NME (“impressive harmonies”).
