Black Sabbath Announce Final Farewell Concert

Black Sabbath‘s original lineup are set to reunite for a monumental farewell concert titled Back to the Beginning on July 5th, 2025, at Villa Park in Birmingham, England. This event marks the first time in 20 years that Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward will perform together.

The concert will feature an all-star lineup of supporting acts, including Metallica, Slayer, Pantera, Gojira, Alice In Chains, Halestorm, Lamb of God, Anthrax, and Mastodon. Additionally, a supergroup curated by musical director Tom Morello will perform, featuring artists such as Billy Corgan, David Draiman, Duff McKagan, Fred Durst, Jonathan Davis, and Slash.

Ozzy Osbourne expressed his excitement, stating, “It’s my time to go Back to the Beginning… Time for me to give back to the place where I was born. How blessed am I to do it with the help of people whom I love. Birmingham is the true home of metal … forever.”

Tickets for the event will go on sale on February 14th at 10 am, with all profits being shared equally between Cure Parkinson’s, Birmingham Children’s Hospital, and Acorn Children’s Hospice.
