Ozzy & Black Sabbath's Epic Farewell Film Hits Cinemas Worldwide This October!

Get ready to rock! A monumental concert film, "Ozzy & Black Sabbath: Back to the Beginning," is set to hit cinemas worldwide on October 28th. This highly anticipated release, distributed by Trafalgar Releasing and Mercury Studios, offers fans an unprecedented chance to relive the final performances of the legendary Ozzy Osbourne and the original lineup of Black Sabbath.

The film documents a truly historic all-day concert that took place on July 5th, 2025, at Villa Park in Birmingham, England. This unforgettable event was captured just 17 days before Ozzy Osbourne's passing at the age of 76. The stage was graced by a stellar lineup of other metal and hard rock titans, including Metallica, Guns N' Roses, Slayer, Pantera, and Tool, making it a festival of heavy music history.

Tickets for these special cinema showings will go on sale starting September 24th at 10 a.m. EST, so mark your calendars! Sharon Osbourne shared the heartfelt inspiration behind this project.

She revealed that when asked what would truly make him happy, Ozzy's only wish was to perform again and bid a final farewell to his devoted fans. "That's all he wanted to do. He wanted to say goodbye and thank you," she explained.

Tom Morello, who served as the musical director for the event, emphasized the unparalleled nature of the concert.

There's never been anything like that that's happened in the history of rock and roll,

he stated. He added that Black Sabbath's final show in Birmingham, the very "Ground Zero" where they created heavy metal, was a moment without precedent.

For an ultimate viewing experience, the movie is presented with cutting-edge Dolby Atmos and 5.1 surround sound. This engineering ensures a fully immersive audio-visual journey, transporting audiences right into the heart of the concert. Critics, fans, and musicians alike have already showered "Back to the Beginning" with universal acclaim.

The three surviving members of Black Sabbath have called it a necessary closure, while the global heavy metal community views it as a profound tribute to the four men who birthed the genre. The film promises a spectacle, featuring multiple all-star jams, an electrifying drum-off, and numerous vital sets from bands like Mastodon, Pantera, Tool, and Alice in Chains, in addition to the headliners.

Ken Danquah and Andrea Dunn, co-leads of Mercury Studios, highlighted Ozzy Osbourne's immense influence.

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,

their joint statement read.

They added that while an unprecedented livestream brought the concert to millions last year, this film offers a new way to experience that iconic night, masterfully crafted for the cinema screen to capture both the scale of a stadium performance and the intimacy of a farewell.
