95 WIIL ROCK BREAKDOWN 12/12/2024…. The Used… Black Sabbath…. Category 7….

The Used have announced a 25th anniversary US tour for Spring 2025, celebrating their first three albums: The Used (2002), In Love and Death (2004), and Lies for the Liars (2007). The tour, starting April 3rd and ending May 16th, will include stop in Chicago when they play the House Of Blues on Friday, April 25th, Saturday, April 26th and then Sunday, the 27th.

Geezer Butler revealed that Ozzy Osbourne hopes to reunite Black Sabbath for a one-off performance at his final show, possibly playing three or four songs. The band’s last concert was in 2017, and while some members have performed since, Osbourne’s health issues have kept him from touring, including withdrawing from the 2023 Power Trip festival and the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction.

And finally, CATEGORY 7, a new band featuring former members of MACHINE HEAD, ADRENALINE MOB, ARMORED SAINT, SHADOWS FALL, and EXODUS, has canceled its debut tour due to concerns about profitability. The band, which released its self-titled debut album in July, blends thrash, punk-metal, and traditional metal. Despite the setback, CATEGORY 7 remains focused on making music and engaging with fans.
