Joining the iconic original lineup—Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward—are none other than Guns N’ Roses, Tool, and Rival Sons, alongside Hollywood superstar Jason Momoa as the event’s host. The all-star band will also feature Chad Smith (Red Hot Chili Peppers), Andrew Watt, and Dave Ellefson (ex-Megadeth), making this a once-in-a-lifetime celebration of metal history.

Set for July 5 at Birmingham’s Villa Park, this sold-out spectacle marks the first time in 20 years that the original Black Sabbath members will share the stage. Ozzy will kick things off with a solo set before reuniting with the band for his final bow.

Reflecting on the monumental event, Ozzy shared, “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. Birmingham Forever.”

With this star-studded lineup, the show promises to be an unforgettable send-off for the band that defined heavy metal. Stay tuned for more updates as the countdown to this historic night begins!
