The Mob Rules Tour was a concert tour by the English heavy metal band Black Sabbath, which began on 15 November 1981 in Quebec City and concluded on 31 August 1982 in Hoffman Estates, Illinois.
A cross was used in the stage production.[1][2]
"The album is more rockier than we've done before," observed guitarist Tony Iommi, "and the show is far more uptempo that it has been before – and a lot more involved… with stage presentation and effects and stuff like that. We enjoy it, the whole thing – we're very happy with the situation at the moment."[3]
