Black Sabbath Announce ‘Back To The Beginning’
Icons of Metal come together to celebrate
@OzzyOsbourne’s Final Performance
July 5th at Villa Park
All Profits From The Show Will Be SHARED EQUALLY BETWEEN Cure Parkinson’s, Birmingham Children’s Hospital and Acorn Children’s Hospice
The original Black Sabbath – Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward – will play for the first time in 20 years. The band will take to the stage to headline BACK TO THE BEGINNING on July 5th at Villa Park.
The all-star event will celebrate the true creators of heavy metal and will see Ozzy Osbourne play his own short set before joining with Black Sabbath for his final bow.
“It’s my time to go Back to the Beginning... time for me to give back to the place where I was born,” Ozzy Osbourne said. “How blessed am I to do it with the help of people whom I love. Birmingham is the true home of metal. Birmingham Forever.”
Formed in Birmingham in 1968 and going on to become one of most successful metal bands of all time, Black Sabbath have sold over 75 million albums worldwide across their legendary career. Setting the blueprint for the many routes heavy metal took, Black Sabbath’s influence and importance is as vital today as it was in the early 1970s.
Music Director @TMorello said: “This will be the greatest heavy metal show ever.”
BACK TO THE BEGINNING will feature sets from @Metallica, @Slayer, @Pantera, @GojiraMusic, @Halestorm, @AliceinChains, @LambofGod, @Anthrax and @MastodonMusic
The all-day event will also feature a supergroup of musicians. Artists announced so far include @BillyCorgan (The Smashing Pumpkins), @DavidMDraiman (Disturbed), @DuffMcKagan & @Slash (Guns ‘n Roses), Frank Bello (Anthrax), @FredDurst (Limp Bizkit), Jake E Lee, @JDavisOfficial (Korn), KK Downing, @LzzyHale (Halestorm), Mike Bordin (Faith No More), Rudy Sarzo, @SammyHagar, @ScottIanthrax (Anthrax), Sleep Token ii (Sleep Token), Papa V Perpetua (Ghost), Tom Morello (Rage Against The Machine), @WolfVanHalen and @ZakkWyldeBLS
More names will be announced shortly.
Tickets go on sale at 10am GMT on Friday 14th February 2025 at LiveNation.co.uk
All profits will go to the following charities: Cure Parkinson's, Birmingham Children's Hospital and Acorns Children's Hospice, a Children’s Hospice supported by Aston Villa.

"I think he really just held out to do that show. I really feel – and me and Geezer were talking about it last night – that we think he held out to do it, and just after that, he’s done it and said goodbye to the fans.”

We are excited to announce the theatrical release of Back To The Beginning: Ozzy’s Final Bow – coming early 2026.
The feature-length concert film will be a big-screen celebration of @OzzyOsbourne and the legacy of Black Sabbath, capturing the raw power and emotional weight of Ozzy’s final bow in his hometown of Birmingham.
Presented as a love letter to Ozzy and the pioneering sound of Black Sabbath, the theatrical release will be a distilled version of the epic all-day event held at Villa Park. Featuring thunderous performances of War Pigs, Iron Man, Children of the Grave, and a show-stopping Paranoid, the film promises a deeply personal and electrifying farewell from the godfather of heavy metal with exclusive behind-the-scenes access and interviews from this iconic live performance.
