Ozzy & Sabbath's Last Show EVER! Stream It or Miss Metal History!
Get ready for a monumental event in heavy metal history! Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath are taking the stage together for what is billed as their final performance. The concert, aptly named "Back to the Beginning," is scheduled for Saturday, July 5th, at Villa Park, the home stadium of Aston Villa Football Club in Birmingham, England.
A Historic Reunion
Ozzy Osbourne will perform solo, followed by a reunion with Black Sabbath featuring the original four members: guitarist Tony Iommi, bassist Geezer Butler, drummer Bill Ward, and Osbourne himself. This marks their first performance together since 2005. While Tommy Clufetos filled in for Ward during Black Sabbath's "The End" tour (ending in February 2017), this reunion promises a truly special moment for fans.
A Lineup of Legends
Black Sabbath and Osbourne are headlining a day packed with hard rock legends. The lineup includes Metallica, Guns N' Roses, Slayer, and many other bands. Expect collaborations and surprise appearances from artists like Sammy Hagar, Smashing Pumpkins co-founder Billy Corgan, Jake E. Lee (Ozzy Osbourne's former guitarist), and Tom Morello (Rage Against the Machine and Audioslave), who is serving as the event's music director.

"This will be the greatest heavy metal show ever," declared Morello in a press release.
Saying Goodbye
Sharon Osbourne revealed that Ozzy wanted one last show to properly say "goodbye" to friends and fans. This final gig at Villa Park in Birmingham holds special significance, as it's where the band formed back in 1967.
Corey Taylor's Tribute
Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor has expressed his deep admiration for Black Sabbath, acknowledging their profound influence on his band. Taylor described Sabbath's self-titled track as "one of the scariest songs I ever heard," revealing that he listens to it when he "wants to go someplace mentally."
