UCPAC presents Black Sabbath and Metallica tribute bands on Friday

originally published: 11/11/2025


(RAHWAY, NJ) -- Union County Performing Arts Center (UCPAC) presents Sabbra Cadabra with Death Metallic on Friday, November 14, 2025. Long live Black Sabbath! Long live Ozzy! Celebrate their music and incredible legacy with New Jersey’s beloved Black Sabbath tribute band, Sabbra Cadabra, presented in partnership with Crossroads! Doors are at 7:00pm; showtime is 8:00pm.

Sabbra Cadabra was founded in early 1993, during the nascent days of the tribute band movement. Driven by a desire to honor the legacy of Black Sabbath after the original lineup disbanded in the late seventies, the founding members set out to recreate the iconic sounds and electrifying live experience of the legendary band. Their passion and dedication filled a longstanding void, capturing the spirit that has inspired countless musicians and fans alike. Now, with Ozzy gone and Black Sabbath retired, Sabbra Cadabra honors their music and memory at UCPAC’s Main Stage, our grand neoclassical theater.

“Everybody in Black Sabbath knows of us. I once met Ozzy at the old Tower Records on the Roosevelt Boulevard. Probably early 2000s? He was doing a signing. I dressed up like him as he looked in the 70s. He starts screaming, “It’s me from the 1970s!…This is f$#%ing beautiful,” he kept saying…And he actually wore one of our t-shirts on his ‘Osbournes’ show.” – Joe Donnelly, ‘Ozzy,’ Sabbra Cadabra

Tickets range from $41-$46 and are available for purchase online.  Union County Performing Arts Center (UCPAC) is located at 1601 Irving Street in Rahway, New Jersey.

Metallica tribute Death Metallic opens the show. “We play Metallica the way Metallica plays Metallica…no compromise, no bs, no remorse!”
