Zakk Sabbath, an all-star roster of heavy metal legends led by Zakk Wylde, will bring down the house at the finale of “The Largest Music Festival in Motorcycling”® on Saturday, Aug. 10, 2019.
Sturgis, SD (December 11, 2018) – Ozzy Osbourne guitarist Zakk Wylde, one of the most talented heavy metal musicians ever to pick up a guitar, will bring the hard rock supergroup Zakk Sabbath, and the full thunderous fury of Black Sabbath hits, to the Wolfman Jack Stage on Saturday, Aug. 10, 2019. Together with bassist Blasko (Ozzy, Rob Zombie) and drummer Joey Castillo (Danzig, Queens of the Stone Age), the group will bring Buffalo Chip fans the most insane jams from Black Sabbath’s first six albums.

“There is really no band more qualified to smash out a blockbuster Black Sabbath style grand finale at the Chip we won’t soon forget than Zakk Sabbath,” said Rod Woodruff, Sturgis Buffalo Chip President, “Frontman Zakk Wylde is arguably one of the most influential and accomplished guitarists of the last 30 years, and will without a doubt close out this summer’s festival with a very powerful rock performance.”
Zakk Wylde co-wrote some of Ozzy Osbourne’s biggest solo hits and intends to rock fan’s brains out to Wylde renditions of Black Sabbath classics like “War Pigs,” “Fairies Wear Boots,” “Into The Void,” “Snowblind,” “NIB,” “Supernaut,” and more until fans are screaming “Sabbath Bloody Sabbath” like a Paranoid madman at an Electric Funeral.
