The No Rest for the Wicked Tour was a concert tour by heavy metal singer Ozzy Osbourne in 1988 and 1989, supporting his album No Rest for the Wicked.

Background In 1987, Ozzy Osbourne found Zakk Wylde, who became the most enduring replacement for Randy Rhoads to date. Together they recorded No Rest for the Wicked with Randy Castillo on drums, John Sinclair on keyboards, and Bob Daisley co-writing lyrics and playing bass. The subsequent tour saw Osbourne reunited with erstwhile Black Sabbath bandmate Geezer Butler on bass. A live EP, entitled Just Say Ozzy, featuring Geezer was released two years later.

North America Opening bands included Anthrax, White Lion and Vixen.

Moscow Music Peace Festival Ozzy Osbourne played the Moscow Music Peace Festival on 13 August 1989.
