Jack Black led a group of young musicians in a Black Sabbath tribute set called Jack Sabbath at Tom Morello’s Power to the People Fest. Black Sabbath bassist Geezer Butler made a surprise appearance during “War Pigs,” according to Consequence’s report. The report names the performers but does not provide the festival date, location or details about a possible release of the performance.
Jack Black led a group of young musicians through a Black Sabbath tribute set called Jack Sabbath at Tom Morello’s Power to the People Fest, with Black Sabbath bassist Geezer Butler joining them for “War Pigs.” The festival performance brought the Tenacious D frontman together with a band that included Morello’s son Roman and Scott Ian’s son Revel, according to Consequence.
The set included Black Sabbath songs “The Wizard” and “War Pigs,” as well as “Mr. Crowley.” Consequence reported that Black sang and danced during “Mr. Crowley,” then played harmonica on “The Wizard,” an instrument he said he had learned specifically for the performance. The source describes the group as teenagers and identifies its members as Roman Morello, Revel Ian, Yokoya Soma and Hugo Weiss.
Butler’s appearance came during “War Pigs,” adding the original Black Sabbath bassist to the tribute. Consequence singled out Roman Morello’s playing in that song, saying he went “toe to toe” with Butler. The report does not detail the full arrangement, the length of the set or whether other guests joined the musicians.
After “Mr. Crowley,” Black joked about the demands of the performance, saying, “It’s been a long time since I rock ‘n’ rolled.” The remark followed what the report described as a spirited rendition. The source does not provide a full set list or a direct account from the festival organizers.
A Cross-Generational Sabbath Tribute
The performance joined Black, a comic actor and Tenacious D musician, with young players and a founding-era Black Sabbath bassist in a live tribute at a festival organized by Morello. Butler’s participation makes the set more than a cover performance by adding a member of the group whose songs were being played.
For readers and fans, the news is a specific live-music moment that links several generations of rock musicians. The source highlights the teenagers’ involvement, but it does not describe the set as a formal debut, a new band launch or an announcement of future performances. The group name Jack Sabbath is reported in connection with this tribute; no longer-term plans are confirmed.

The Festival’s Rock Lineage
Power to the People Fest is associated with Tom Morello, the guitarist known for his work with Rage Against the Machine and Audioslave. The source places this tribute within that festival setting and notes the participation of Morello’s son Roman and Anthrax guitarist Scott Ian’s son Revel. It does not provide further information about the festival’s wider bill or programming.
Jack Black is also the frontman of Tenacious D, the comedy-rock duo he formed with Kyle Gass. The report identifies Black as leading the Jack Sabbath set, but does not say that Tenacious D performed as a group. The material describes a one-off tribute performance, rather than a new project announced by Black or Butler.
““It’s been a long time since I rock ‘n’ rolled.””
