Set Times Posted For BLACK SABBATH’s Farewell Show
The final Black Sabbath and Ozzy Osbourne show is nearly upon us! Just in case you somehow missed that it’s happening, given that every media outlet under the sun has been talking about it incessantly.
Black Sabbath‘s final performance, titled Back to the Beginning, is set for Saturday, July 5, 2025, at Villa Park in Aston, Birmingham — the very neighborhood where the band was formed over 50 years ago. The event marks a historic farewell, reuniting the original lineup — Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward — on stage for the first time since 2005.
The concert will feature a stacked lineup of legendary acts, including Metallica, Guns N’ Roses, Slayer, Tool, Pantera, Gojira, Anthrax, Halestorm, and Rival Sons, among others. Two “Supergroups” made up of rock and metal icons — including Slash, Billy Corgan, Tom Morello, and Jonathan Davis — will also perform collaborative sets. The event will be hosted by actor and metal fan Jason Momoa, with Tom Morello serving as musical director.
