For an event like Black Sabbath’s final world tour, some monumental support is necessary. Enter Rival Sons, who Ozzy Osbourne calls “one of the best up-and-coming bands in their genre.” The Southern California rockers’ soulful grooves provide a funky counterpoint to Sabbath’s punishing metal, while never losing their rocking backbone. They’ll be spending a night off from that tour in Madison for this free show.
