Ozzy Osbourne and the original members of Black Sabbath—Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward—are reuniting for their first performance together in two decades. The farewell concert, named “Back to the Beginning,” is scheduled for July 5, 2025, at Villa Park in Birmingham, England.
This event is being promoted as the ultimate heavy metal concert and will feature an impressive lineup of supporting acts, including Metallica, Slayer, Pantera, Alice in Chains, and Anthrax, among others.
The concert not only celebrates Black Sabbath’s legacy but also serves a charitable purpose. Proceeds from the event will support Cure Parkinson’s, Birmingham Children’s Hospital, and Acorn Children’s Hospice. Ozzy Osbourne has expressed his appreciation for the chance to return to his hometown for this final performance, referring to Birmingham as “the true home of metal.”
Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine will act as the musical director for the event, calling it “the greatest heavy metal show ever.” Alongside performances from legendary bands, the event will also showcase a supergroup featuring Billy Corgan (The Smashing Pumpkins), Jonathan Davis (Korn), and Wolfgang Van Halen, among others.
This is a significant moment for Ozzy Osbourne, who has faced health challenges in recent years, including Parkinson’s disease and spinal injuries. Despite these hurdles, he remains dedicated to giving fans a proper farewell. Tickets for the concert will be available starting February 14, 2025.
Black Sabbath, who have been pioneers of heavy metal since their formation in Birmingham in 1968, have sold over 75 million albums worldwide. This final show will serve as a fitting tribute to their lasting impact on music and culture.
