Black Sabbath close Download Festival 2012 in style!

Jun 11, 2012 No Comments by Musicscene

On Sunday the 10th of June 2012, metal legends Black Sabbath brought the historic annual Download Festival at Donington Park to a close, belting through a total of 18 hits from their illustrious career. It was definitely a landmark gig judging by the reaction from fans online, and not to mention the presence of guitarist Tony Iommi, following his recent health scares. Ozzy Osbourne & Co. stole the show on the Sunday, arriving on stage to a montage of images which got the crowd warmed up, whilst finishing with an encore of their classic track ‘Paranoid’, and a very pretty / colourful firework display.

Paying homage to one of his best friends, Ozzy Osbourne spoke of Tony Iommi on stage at Download Festival 2012: “The guy on the stage I’ve known for most of my life, and he’s one of the strongest guys I know. Let’s hear it for Mr Tony Iommi.”

Black Sabbath performed the following setlist live at Download Festival 2012:

Black Sabbath
The Wizzard
Behind The Wall Of Sleep
NIB
Into The Void
Under The Sun
Snowblind
War Pigs
Electric Funeral
Wheels of Confusion
Sweet Leaf
