The last concert by Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath took place in Birmingham. The “Back to the Beginning” show should be the big degree for musicians and fans. The rush to the tickets was enormous, but only 40,000 fans could be there live. But there will be the opportunity to give the spectacle on the big screen. Black Sabbath apparently also planning a concert film that is supposed to come to cinemas.
Black Sabbath: A concert film as a farewell
As “Variety” reports, there is currently a 100-minute concert film in production, which is documented throughout the day in the Villa Park Stadium in Birmingham. “Presented as a love letter to Ozzy and the groundbreaking sound of Black Sabbath, the cinema publication will be a compressed version of the epic full-day event in Villa Park,” says a press release.
The film should also include songs like “War Pigs”, “Iron Man”, “Children of the Grave” and “Paranoid”. “The film offers a very personal and rousing farewell to the Godfather of Heavy Metal-with exclusive insights behind the scenes and interviews for this legendary live appearance,” it continues.
The film is scheduled to come to the cinemas in early 2026. More detailed information has not yet been known.
A farewell to many guests
On July 5, Black Sabbath and Ozzy Osbourne played their farewell concert under the title “Back to the Beginning” in their hometown Birmingham. The show was accompanied by several guest appearances and contained some surprises.
The entire day was moderated by actor Jason Momoa and supported by some of the biggest names of the music scene: Metallica, Guns N ‘Roses, Steven Tyler from Aerosmith, Slayer, Tool, Yungblud and Chad Smith from the Red Hot Chili Peppers. It can be assumed that most of these performances will also be included in the film.
In addition to the 40,000 fans in the stadium, around three million viewers watched the spectacle online via a live stream.
