Black Label Society have announced three UK headline shows for next May, ahead of their appearance at Bloodstock in August.
Iconic American guitarist, singer, and songwriter Zakk Wylde and his band will play their first UK show in four years at Glasgow O2 Academy on Thursday 28th May 2026, before playing London O2 Forum Kentish Town (Fri 29th May) and Bournemouth O2 Academy (Sat 30th May).
Support on all three UK shows will come from Geordie metallers Venom Inc.
The dates in May precede Black Label Society’s previously announced Ronnie James Dio Stage performance at Bloodstock on Sunday 9th August ahead of special guests Body Count and headliners Judas Priest.
Black Label Society will release their new studio album ‘Engines of Demolition’ on Friday 27th March.
Zakk began writing ‘Engines of Demolition’ in 2022 during his relentless Pantera Celebration World Tour and continued through 2025, when he wrote his most personally profound and heartfelt ballad to date, ‘Ozzy’s Song’ – a song for the man who started this all for Zakk.
“‘Engines of Demolition’ is a sincere ride through the peaks and valleys of the last four years from start to finish, some of the highest highs and lowest lows and everything in between” says Wylde.
