BLACK SABBATH To Livestream Their Final Show This July: A Monumental Farewell to Metal’s Founding Fathers
Black Sabbath, the godfathers of heavy metal, have announced that their final-ever live show — aptly named Back to the Beginning — will be livestreamed globally this coming July 5th, 2025. This performance isn’t just the band’s last; it also marks Ozzy Osbourne’s official farewell to the stage, making this event one of the most emotional and historic moments in rock history.
📍 A Return to Roots
The concert will take place at Villa Park Stadium in Birmingham, UK — Ozzy's hometown and the birthplace of Sabbath itself. After five decades of music that laid the foundation for generations of metal bands, the group is closing the circle where it all started. For fans across the world who couldn’t score a ticket to the now-sold-out show, the livestream is a chance to witness metal history in real-time.
The livestream will be available via pay-per-view for $29.99, or as part of a bundle including a limited-edition T-shirt for $64.98. The stream begins at 3:00 pm BST / 10:00 am EDT / 7:00 am PDT, with a 48-hour window for replays.
