Jack Black Forming 'Jack Sabbath' Supergroup with Sons of Tom Morello and Scott Ian

Heavy metal fans, prepare yourselves: Jack Black is stepping into the shoes of heavy metal legends for a massive live performance. The Tenacious D frontman and Hollywood comedy icon will be taking the stage under the alter ego "Jack Sabbath," leading an extraordinary new supergroup packed with serious rock 'n' roll DNA. Rather than performing with his standard bandmates, the actor and musician is recruiting a fresh crew of next-generation talent. His young backing band features the sons of two major rock figures: Rage Against the Machine guitarist Tom Morello and Anthrax rhythm guitarist Scott Ian. The elite offspring are joining forces with Black to deliver heavy Sabbath riffs to a live festival audience. ## When is Jack Black performing as Jack Sabbath? Music fans can catch this unique collaborative set live on October 3. The supergroup is slated to perform at the Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, Maryland, bringing intense energy to the historic outdoor venue. The one-of-a-kind gig is taking place as part of the Power to the People festival, an event organized by Tom Morello. The Rage Against the Machine icon personally broke the news on social media, sharing details about the lineup and sparking massive excitement among alternative rock and heavy metal enthusiasts across the internet. ## Who is in the Jack Sabbath band? The newly formed "Jack Sabbath" features Jack Black on vocal duties, backed by young rock prodigies descended from guitar royalty. With bloodlines tied to both Anthrax and Rage Against the Machine, the backing musicians bring serious metal credentials despite their age. Scott Ian has fueled thrash metal for decades as a founding member of Anthrax, while Tom Morello defined the riff-heavy sound of nineties and two-thousands rock with Rage Against the Machine and Audioslave. Passing the torch to their sons for a high-profile set with Jack Black marks a major moment for both families and festival attendees alike. Jack Black himself is no stranger to celebrating heavy metal history. Beyond his work in Tenacious D, the actor famously celebrated the genre in his hit film *School of Rock* and numerous high-profile music projects over the years. Stepping into the persona of "Jack Sabbath" alongside metal royalty kids is set to be one of the autumn’s most talked-about festival highlights.
