Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath are reuniting for one last time, to play a fund-raising concert in Birmingham on 5 July. The original Black Sabbath - Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward - will play for the first time in 20 years, taking to the stage to headline Back To The Beginning at Villa Park. 

The all-star event will celebrate the true creators of heavy metal and will see Ozzy Osbourne play his own short set before joining with Black Sabbath for his final bow.

“It’s my time to go Back to the Beginning... time for me to give back to the place where I was born,” Ozzy Osbourne said. “How blessed am I to do it with the help of people whom I love. Birmingham is the true home of metal. Birmingham Forever.”

Formed in Birmingham in 1968 and going on to become one of most successful metal bands of all time, Black Sabbath have sold over 75 million albums worldwide across their legendary career. Setting the blueprint for the many routes heavy metal took, Black Sabbath’s influence and importance is as vital today as it was in the early 1970s.

All profits from the show will be equally shared between Cure Parkinson's, Birmingham Children's Hospital and Acorn Children's Hospice. Tickets go on sale at 10am GMT on Friday 14th February 2025 at Live Nation
