**Black Sabbath Reunites: Official Photo Released Ahead of ‘Back to the Beginning’ Concert at Villa Park, Saturday 5th July**
A newly unveiled official photo has reignited the excitement surrounding one of the most anticipated rock events of the decade: Black Sabbath’s *Back to the Beginning* concert, set for Saturday, 5th July, at Villa Park in Birmingham. The image, stark yet powerful, features the original four members—Bill Ward, Geezer Butler, Ozzy Osbourne, and Tony Iommi—standing shoulder to shoulder once more, aged but undeniably iconic, bathed in shadow and legacy.
The photograph is more than promotional material—it’s a statement. Decades after they first changed the face of music from the industrial streets of Birmingham, Sabbath has returned to their roots. Villa Park, the historic stadium just miles from where the band first rehearsed in smoky basements, will host this monumental homecoming. For fans, it’s not just a concert—it’s a pilgrimage.
In the portrait, Ozzy stands at the center, arms slightly outstretched, a mix of defiance and gratitude in his eyes. Iommi, stoic and composed, holds his guitar like a battle-scarred sword. Butler, ever the quiet force, stands grounded, while Ward, whose return to the lineup has been met with emotional fanfare, exudes a quiet resilience. Together, they look like a band that has seen it all—and chosen to rise one more time.
The *Back to the Beginning* show is rumored to feature songs from their earliest records, possibly even unreleased material from their formative years. For lifelong fans and newcomers alike, this is more than nostalgia—it’s a rare, raw reconnection with the roots of heavy metal.
With this photo, Black Sabbath doesn’t just announce a concert—they reaffirm their unshakable place in rock history. On July 5th, the past and present collide in Birmingham. The gods of metal are co
ming home.
