(hennemusic) As Black Sabbath prepare to headline the Download Festival at Donington Park this Saturday - marking the group's only UK appearance this year - flyers found by fans around the festival site list unconfirmed farewell tour dates in the band's home country in early 2017.
The 7-show run appears to start January 22 in Manchester and may see the band finish their farewell trek with two shows in their hometown of Birmingham in early February.
"It would be nice to think it could finish back where it all started - in Birmingham," guitarist Tony Iommi said during a town hall event in the city this spring. "When we are home where we started, we have always found it a bit nerve-racking, but Birmingham means such a lot to us."
Black Sabbath's social media sites have not confirmed the 2017 dates at press time, with the current tour schedule running to December 4 in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Read more and see the flyer here.
