Ozzy Osbourne

In March, Black Sabbath announced that it had officially disbanded. But Osbourne isn't the retiring type. At 68, he's back on the road with his solo act, reuniting with guitarist Zakk Wylde, his on-again, off-again partner since 1987 (but it's been eight years since they toured together). At the Sabbath farewell show in St. Paul last year, Ozzy sounded diminished in voice but not spirit. Expect a mix of solo favorites like "Crazy Train" and "Bark at the Moon" and Sabbath classics like "Iron Man" and "Paranoid." (8 p.m. Fri., Treasure Island Casino Amphitheater, Red Wing, $25-$65.)

Pizza Lucé Block Party

Consistently among the best of Minneapolis' many free outdoor music bashes, this year's Lucé lineup welcomes the return of Hold Steady frontman and punk-rock storyteller Craig Finn (right), who's touring behind his third solo album, the harried but hopeful "We All Want the Same Things." He will be joined by jittery, jolting rap star Allan Kingdom of the Stand4rd and Kanye's "All Day" fame, indie-rock mainstay Haley (Bonar), Grrrl Prty and Chalice castaway Sophia Eris, Fury Things, Tabah, Static Panic, Fanaka and Modern Era. (Noon-10 p.m. Sat., 5th St. & 1st Av. N., Mpls., all ages, free.)
