Black Sabbath tribute band takes to the stage in Toale's tonight

Heavy metal fans in Dundalk are in for a powerful night of music and memory as Belfast’s premier Black Sabbath tribute act, Sound of Sabbath, take the stage at Toales Live Venue tonight, Saturday August 2.

The show comes at a poignant time for fans of the genre due to the very recent tragic passing of Ozzy Osbourne, the band’s iconic frontman and "Prince Of Darkness", coming just weeks after Black Sabbath’s historic “Back to the Beginning” concert in Birmingham's Villa Park on July 5th.

The concert marked a final farewell for the godfathers of heavy metal.

The original members reunited for one last hometown performance in Birmingham, the city where it all began.

The emotional night—featuring a seated performance from Ozzy due to his declining health—was a fitting end to a legacy that transformed rock music forever.

Now, Dundalk audiences have the chance to celebrate that same legacy as Sound of Sabbath faithfully recreate the sights and sounds of Black Sabbath’s most iconic eras.

Covering both the Ozzy Osbourne and Ronnie James Dio years, the band deliver blistering renditions of classics like Paranoid, Iron Man, Heaven and Hell, and War Pigs, capturing the dark, powerful atmosphere that defined Sabbath’s genre-shaping sound.

With meticulous musicianship and vintage stage presence, Sound of Sabbath don’t just play the songs—they resurrect the spirit of a band that laid the groundwork for generations of heavy music. 

For fans of Black Sabbath and heavy metal alike, this promises to be an unforgettable night in tribute to a band—and a frontman—that changed music history.Doors open at 8pm.

Tickets are €10 in advance via Eventbrite or €12 on the door.
