Titled 'Back to the Beginning,' the event will feature a star-studded lineup of heavy metal legends, including Pantera, Gojira, Halestorm, Alice In Chains, and more.
Black Sabbath 's original lineup is set to reunite for Ozzy Osbourne 's final concert, billed as 'The greatest heavy metal show ever.' Titled Back to the Beginning, the all-day charity concert will take place at Birmingham’s Villa Park on July 5th. Osbourne, bassist Geezer Butler, guitarist Tony Iommi, and drummer Bill Ward will reunite onstage for the first time in 20 years. Osbourne will play his own short set before joining Black Sabbath for what will be his final bow with his bandmates.
“It’s my time to go Back to the Beginning….time for me to give back to the place where I was born,” Osbourne wrote. “How blessed am I to do it with the help of people whom I love. Birmingham is the true home of metal. Birmingham Forever.” The concert boasts an incredible lineup of heavy metal giants, including Pantera, Gojira, Halestorm, Alice In Chains, Lamb of God, Anthrax, and Mastodon. A “supergroup” of musicians will also perform, featuring Fred Durst of Limp Bizkit; Scott Ian of Anthrax; Sammy Hagar; Sleep Token II of Sleep Token; Papa V Perpetua of Ghost;; and Wolfgang Van Halen. This is just the beginning, with more artists expected to be announced in the coming weeks. “This will be the greatest heavy metal show ever,” Morello, who also serves as the concert’s music director, added in a statement. All proceeds from the event will go to a collection of charities, including Cure Parkinson’s, Birmingham Children's Hospital, and Acorn Children's Hospice. Black Sabbath, formed in 1968, is one of the most revered heavy metal bands of all time, with over 75 million albums sold and a treasure trove of hits that include “Iron Man,” “Paranoid,” “War Pigs,” and “Sweet Leaf.” The Birmingham band's many accolades include an induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2006 and three Grammys, including a Lifetime Achievement Award in 2019. Osbourne, a founding member of Black Sabbath, has had a long and successful solo career, releasing 12 studio albums and touring extensively throughout the world. Over the last five decades, Black Sabbath's lineup has shifted often as its members clashed with one another. Back to the Beginning marks the first time that all four founding members will take to the stage together since the band's Ozzfest tour in 2005
