Black Sabbath’s final show will be released in theaters
The final Black Sabbath and Ozzy Osbourne show took place on July 5 at Villa Park in Birmingham, their hometown. In addition to the fans who attended in person, millions around the world were able to watch the event via pay-per-view, with all proceeds donated to charity. Viewers had access to the full festival for 48 hours, but at the time, there was no information about a future release. Now, the band has announced that a 100-minute film of the festival will be released in theatres in 2026.
Although it was Black Sabbath's final performance, the title of the upcoming movie unfortunately doesn’t reflect that as it should, since it will be called "Back to the Beginning: Ozzy's Final Bow." After its theatrical release, the film will also be available on home media.
Black Sabbath's farewell success
The RATM and Audioslave guitarist Tom Morello, who was the music producer of the celebration recently revealed that the festival grossed over 190 million dollars to charity. According to Billboard, it is more than any other major charity concert ever made.
Besides the two headliners, many famous artists were part of the “tribute festival“, like Slayer, Metallica, Anthrax, Guns N’ Roses, Steven Tyler, Papa V Perpetua, Sammy Hagar, Jake E. Lee, Billy Corgan and Nuno Bettencourt.
The bands performed Black Sabbath and Ozzy covers, but also played some of their most famous songs in small sets, of 3 to 6 songs. Many covers from other bands were also performed, like the supergroup with Steven Tyler on vocals, which played, for example, Led Zeppelin’s “Whole Lotta Love”. Ozzy Osbourne sang five songs of his solo career and four more with Black Sabbath.
