Ozzy & Black Sabbath: 'Back to the Beginning' Concert Film Set for October Theatrical Release

Fans who missed Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath''s farewell performance will have a new chance to see it. "Ozzy & Black Sabbath: Back to the Beginning" is set for a worldwide release in theaters, starting Oct. 28, through Trafalgar Releasing.

The concert film features Osbourne''s final onstage appearance with the original Black Sabbath lineup-Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward. The event was filmed July 5, 2025, at Villa Park stadium in Birmingham, England, Osbourne''s hometown. The show sold out and included a roster of rock and metal acts performing abbreviated sets before Osbourne''s solo set and Black Sabbath''s closing performance.

Producers Mercury Studios captured this reunion, which marked the first time all four original members played together since a previous farewell tour, when Ward was absent due to a contract dispute.

Tickets for the theatrical run will go on sale at 7 a.m. Pacific, 10 a.m. Eastern, 3 p.m. British Summer Time and 4 p.m. Central European Summer Time on Sept. 24. You can find showtimes and sign up for updates at the Back to the Beginning website.

Actor Jason Momoa hosted the concert. Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine curated the performer lineup. The event featured Alice in Chains, Anthrax, Gojira, Guns N'' Roses, Halestorm, Lamb of God, Mastodon, Metallica, Pantera, Rival Sons, Slayer and Tool, along with all-star segments. Guest appearances included Adam Wakeman, Andrew Watt, Billy Corgan, Chad Smith, David Draiman, David Ellefson, Jake E. Lee, KK Downing, Mike Bordin, Nuno Bettencourt, Papa V Perpetua, Ronnie Wood, Rudy Sarzo, Sammy Hagar, Sleep Token II, Steven Tyler, Travis Barker, Vernon Reid, Whitfield Crane and Yungblud.

Sharon Osbourne said, "Back to the Beginning came about because I asked Ozzy what would really make him happy. He said the only thing that would make him happy was if he could perform again and say goodbye to his fans. That''s all he wanted to do. He wanted to say goodbye and thank you."

Band members reflected on the night. "It was a closure for the band and it was a good way to go out, I think," Iommi said. Butler called it "a wave of love." Ward said, "Felt completely at home in a place where I belong. It almost felt like I was in a dream."

Morello described the show as unique. "There''s never been anything like that that''s happened in the history of rock and roll," he said. "Black Sabbath gets to play their final show basically in the ground zero of where they created heavy metal."

Mercury Studios'' Ken Danquah and Andrea Dunn said, "Ozzy Osbourne is one of the most influential figures in music history, and his final performance with Black Sabbath deserves to be seen on the biggest possible stage. Last year, we brought this legendary concert to fans across the globe, offering millions the chance to be there through a livestream. This film is the next chapter, giving fans a new way to experience that night on the big screen."

Marc Allenby, CEO of Trafalgar Releasing, said bringing the concert to cinemas gives fans around the world the chance to celebrate Osbourne and Black Sabbath together. Will you be among those seeing it on the big screen?
