Black Sabbath’s historic farewell show, Back to the Beginning, sold out in minutes—but fans across the globe can now witness the legendary sendoff thanks to an official livestream announcement.
Set for July 5th at Villa Park in Birmingham, England—Sabbath’s hometown—the final concert promises a once-in-a-lifetime lineup. Heavy hitters like Metallica, Guns N’ Roses, Tool, Slayer, and Pantera will join forces with icons including Alice in Chains, Lamb of God, and Mastodon. Special appearances from Billy Corgan, Steven Tyler, Tom Morello, and Zakk Wylde add even more star power to the event.
Tickets to the livestream are available for $29.99, with a collectible T-shirt bundle offered for $64.98 at BacktotheBeginning.com. The broadcast will be delayed by two hours, beginning at 10 a.m. ET / 7 a.m. PT, and available for replay for 48 hours.
The night will also see Ozzy Osbourne perform both solo and with Black Sabbath, despite his ongoing health battles. “All I can say is I’m giving 120 percent,” Ozzy said, signaling his determination to go out with a bang.
For Sabbath fans around the world, this livestream is the final chance to witness metal’s founding fathers say goodbye—louder than ever.
