Their last album was their self-titled 2011 release, with frontwoman Amy Lee reporting last year that she had "no plans" to work with the band in the foreseeable future following the birth of her son Jack.

She later insisted the group had not split up and now they have confirmed that they will appear on the bill at the Makuhari Messe Arena close to Tokyo on November 21-22.

Black Sabbath had originally been scheduled to play their farewell show at the two-day event but the plans were shelved earlier this month. Instead, Ozzy Osbourne and friends will perform a headline set on the final night.
