Veteran rockers will cap off a busy year with a joint North American arena tour starting Oct. 18 in Seattle.
One has the top-grossing movie in the US, while the other is fresh off yet another summer-long traveling metal circus.
But with the remake of Halloween and the latest edition of Ozzfest behind them, respectively, Rob Zombie and Ozzy Osbourne are set to team up for a North American fall tour. The trek will kick off October 18 at the Key Arena in Seattle and conclude January 24, 2008, at the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland. The 40-date trek finds Osbourne visiting US arenas for the first time in six years.
Osbourne will be touring in support of his first studio album in six years, Black Rain, which has sold 372,000 copies in the US since May, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
Zombie's remake of the classic horror film Halloween sits atop the box office heap at the moment and is expected to remain there this weekend despite a healthy dose of competition.
He will be touring in support of his first live album, Zombie -- Live, which hits stores October 23. The album was recorded during Zombie's 2006 tour. A DVD companion to the live album is slated to arrive next spring.
Tickets go on sale September 14. Pricing information has not yet been released.
