Now celebrating over 10 years on the UK Tribute circuit, 2025 will be the bands busiest yet. Sabbotage Black Sabbath Tribute deliver the most powerful and most authentic Ozzy era Sabbath show. With well over two and a half hours of Ozzy era Sabbath in the bands repertoire, Sabbotage never fail to entertain and are the closest you can get to the God Fathers of Heavy Rock in their heyday. Sabbotage arrived on the scene in November 2014. Formed from the ashes of the already established Sabbath Tribute Snowblind. Immediately it was obvious that this band would become the most authentic and the best Black Sabbath tribute in the UK. All of the band are highly accomplished and experienced musicians sharing a great passion for early Black Sabbath in particular, which results in an unforgettable experience for all having the privilege to see them perform live. For those that missed Black Sabbath in their first incarnation this is definitely the closest you are likely to get to the real thing. Sabbotage have a repertoire of well over two and a half hours’ worth of early Black Sabbath classics to draw from and are still adding to this to keep creating the ultimate Black Sabbath tribute. Join us for the after party from 11pm to 3am at The Underworld's Blackout Club, get your tickets!

So...... this year we are doing things different. Our fav regulars, friends and customers are invited to The Spinning Top. No live band, but hot and cold food c/o Tracy's Cakes 1977 & The Spinning Top. There maybe bingo and or other foolery.
