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.

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.

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.
