On July 5, 2025, a landmark moment in heavy metal history will take place as Black Sabbath, one of the most iconic bands of the genre, will perform their final concert titled “Back To The Beginning.” This farewell show marks the end of an era for the original lineup—Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward—reuniting for the first time in two decades. With the concert set to unfold at Birmingham’s Villa Park, fans from around the globe are invited to partake in this historic event. Despite the physical venue being sold out swiftly, the band is foregoing the geographical restrictions by livestreaming the concert, allowing fans worldwide to witness this epic farewell.

The upcoming event is not just a simple concert; it is a massive celebration of the heavy metal genre, bringing together titans of the music world. Alongside Black Sabbath, notable bands such as Metallica, Guns N’ Roses, Tool, Slayer, Pantera, and more will grace the stage. Each of these bands, iconic in their own right, adds a layer of prestige to an already star-studded lineup. This is not just a gathering of music legends; it's also a chance to catch a performance of metal's most influential artists, united to honor the music and the legacy of Black Sabbath. The participation of other significant acts such as Gojira, Halestorm, Alice In Chains, and Lamb Of God further elevates the concert into a watershed moment for heavy metal aficionados.

The decision to livestream the concert underlines its significance. Sharon Osbourne, expressing the overwhelming demand from fans, declared the urgency of sharing this once-in-a-lifetime experience with global audiences. Given that the show sold out in under sixteen minutes, this move ensures that fans who couldn’t secure a ticket still partake in the celebration. Mercury Studios, in collaboration with streaming partners Kiswe, will capture this pivotal event from beginning to end, ensuring high-quality streaming for viewers worldwide. The livestream will start at 3:00PM BST (10:00 AM EST) on the concert day and will remain accessible for 48 hours, allowing fans ample opportunity to relish this historic

Adding to the excitement, the farewell concert is set to support charities close to Ozzy Osbourne's heart, turning this monumental event into an opportunity to give back to the community. The narrative behind this concert is also embellished by the active involvement of esteemed personalities beyond the music industry. Jason Momoa will host the event, further amplifying the gala's star power appeal. This convergence of music and celebrity presence highlights the show's unique and broad appeal, celebrating not just music but also a community ethos that has been a hallmark of the genre.

The farewell concert is not just about nostalgia; it represents the culmination of a legacy. Over their 50-year reign, Black Sabbath has been at the forefront of metal, influencing countless artists and developing a sound that has left an indelible mark on the music world. As they take the stage one last time, performing hits that have enthralled fans for decades, the event promises to be as much a tribute to their past as it is a celebration of their impact on future generations of musicians. This worldwide livestream allows a broader audience to engage with this narrative, offering a unique insight into the band's journey and their contribution to music history.
