The Ultimate Heavy Metal Homecoming: Black Sabbath's Final Bow at Villa Park

Get ready, metalheads, because the legendary BLACK SABBATH is set to rock one last time in a concert that promises to be the heaviest, most heart-pounding event in metal history! On July 5, 2025, Birmingham's Villa Park will host "Back To The Beginning," where the original lineup of Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward will reunite for their final performance.

This isn't just any concert; it's a monumental charity event with all proceeds going to Birmingham's cherished charities: Cure Parkinson's, Birmingham Children's Hospital, and Acorn Children's Hospice. Tickets go on sale at 10 a.m. on February 14, so set your alarms because this is a night you won't want to miss!

The lineup is nothing short of spectacular. Alongside BLACK SABBATH, fans will be treated to performances by metal titans like METALLICA, SLAYER, PANTERA, ANTHRAX, ALICE IN CHAINS, GOJIRA, HALESTORM, LAMB OF GOD, MASTODON, and more. But wait, there's more! An all-star tribute band will also take the stage, featuring the likes of Billy Corgan, Tom Morello, Fred Durst, Jonathan Davis, Wolfgang Van Halen, and an array of other rock legends, with Morello himself directing the musical festivities.

Ozzy Osbourne expressed his heartfelt connection to the event, stating, "It's my time to go 'Back To The Beginning'… time for me to give back to the place where I was born. Birmingham is the true home of metal. Birmingham Forever." This concert isn't just a goodbye; it's a celebration of nearly six decades of groundbreaking music that has shaped the world of heavy metal.

METALLICA shared their excitement, "We are beyond honored and humbled to be invited to perform at BLACK SABBATH's final show, back where it all began in Birmingham, England." This event marks a significant moment, reuniting the band that started it all in their hometown, performing just before their final encore.

Formed in 1968, BLACK SABBATH has not only pioneered heavy metal but has also sold over 75 million albums worldwide, earned a spot in the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame, and received numerous accolades over the years. This concert, dubbed "The End," truly marks the closure of an era, following their last tour in 2017, which was cut short due to Tony Iommi's health challenges.

So, gear up for an unforgettable night where the echoes of heavy metal's founding fathers will resonate through Villa Park, celebrating the legacy of BLACK SABBATH in the most epic way possible. This is more than a concert; it's a historic event, a tribute to music, and a thank you from the band to the city that birthed the genre. Don't miss your chance to be part of this legendary finale!
