**Black Sabbath’s Final Farewell: “Back to the Beginning” Set for July 5, 2025, at Villa Park**
In what promises to be one of the most emotional and historic nights in rock history, Black Sabbath has announced their final concert, fittingly titled **“Back to the Beginning”**, to take place on **July 5, 2025**, at **Villa Park** in their hometown of **Birmingham, England**. The show will mark not only the end of an era for heavy metal’s founding fathers but also **Ozzy Osbourne’s final performance** on stage.
Even more momentous is the full **reunion of the original lineup** — Ozzy Osbourne, **Tony Iommi**, **Geezer Butler**, and **Bill Ward** — who haven’t performed a full show together since **Ozzfest 2005** in Florida. After decades of lineup changes, health struggles, and public tension, this final reunion promises to deliver a powerful sense of closure and celebration for fans across the globe.
“Back to the Beginning” will be a tribute to Black Sabbath’s unmatched legacy — the band that birthed a genre and shaped the sound of darkness for generations to come. With a setlist expected to span their groundbreaking debut in 1970 through *Paranoid*, *Master of Reality*, and beyond, fans can expect a night of thunderous riffs, apocalyptic drums, and one last howl of the Prince of Darkness.
Ozzy, now 76, has called this show his “final bow,” stating, “I started it all in Birmingham. It’s only right that I end it there, with my brothers.”
Tickets sold out within minutes, and global livestream options are being arranged for fans unable to attend.
As the lights dim on the stage where it all began, one thing is certain — **Black Sabbath’s final note will echo through eternity**. Their reign is ending, but their legacy will
never fade.
