The original lineup of Black Sabbath, the legendary British rock band that arguably invented heavy metal, will reunite for the first time in 20 years to perform in an all-star farewell concert called “Back to the Beginning” on July 5.
The sold-out concert will be held in the band’s hometown of Birmingham, England.
Lucky ticket holders will watch in person as the band’s original lineup — singer Ozzy Osbourne, guitarist Tony Iommi, bassist Geezer Butler and drummer Bill Ward — blast through a set list likely filled with classic songs like “Iron Man” and “War Pigs.”
Metalheads at home can throw up a sign of the horn salute and watch the action via livestream.
Black Sabbath’s farewell concert will mark Osbourne’s first full concert performance since 2018.
The singer, who announced in 2020 that he’d been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, will also perform a set of his solo hits during a concert that is being billed as “his final bow” with the group.
