Wolfgang Van Halen was introduced as a part of the unique lineup for the upcoming “Again to the Starting” live performance that includes the ultimate performances of Black Sabbath and Ozzy Osbourne. Sadly, he has since needed to again out resulting from his band Mammoth’s dedication as a help act on Creed’s summer time tour.
In an interview with the radio station WRIF Detroit, Wolfgang defined, “I, sadly, needed to again out as a result of the Creed tour begins the day after, and I wouldn’t be capable of pull it off — sadly. I’m very excited to observe it, however I sadly needed to again out.”
The “Again to the Starting” live performance takes locations July fifth at Villa Park in Birmingham, England, whereas Creed’s North American summer time tour kicks off July ninth in Lexington, Kentucky. So, whereas it’s not precisely the following day, it’s only a few days after.

Wolfgang was then requested who of Ozzy’s guitarists is his favourite, and responded, “I’m actually dangerous at selecting, ’trigger that just about implies you don’t like one other one as compared. And I really feel like Randy [Rhoads] was superb, however you possibly can’t not give cred to [Black Sabbath’s] Tony [Iommi] being the legend and groundbreaking style creator he was — and is. So I like ’em all. That’s not the reply you wanna hear.”
Whereas Wolfgang received’t be there, the “Again to the Starting” live performance will characteristic a who’s who of rock and steel acts, together with Metallica, Weapons N’ Roses, Device, Pantera, Slayer, Mastodon, Gojira, and extra.
In the meantime, Wolfgang’s Mammoth will probably be on the highway for a lot of the the rest of 2025. Along with supporting Creed this summer time, Mammoth may even embark on a headlining US tour of their very own this fall. Tickets to Mammoth’s upcoming exhibits can be found right here.
