The
2012 Lollapalooza lineup is to be announced today, and Black
Sabbath have
confirmed that they will headline this year’s event.
The
Chicago Tribune also
reports the UK legends will appear at the August 3-5 event in the
city’s Grant Park.
The
Chicago gig marks the lone North American date for the Sabbath
reunion tour, which was shut down following news of guitarist Tony
Iommi’s
battle with cancer.
Sabbath have previously confirmed their June 10th show at the UK’s Download festival will proceed as scheduled.

Whether
or not it is a full Black
Sabbath reunion
remains to be seen: drummer Bill
Ward went
public earlier this year with word that he has threatened to quit the
project – which also includes a new album produced by Rick Rubin -
over a contract dispute.
It
was the decision by Lollapalooza organizers
15 years ago to deny Ozzya spot on the bill that led him
and Sharon to
launch Ozzfest.
