On June 5, 2025, Black Sabbath played their final show at Villa Park in Birmingham – a massive send-off in front of thousands of fans. And now it’s official: the concert will be hitting cinemas in early 2026 as 'Back to the Beginning: Ozzy’s Final Bow', a 100-minute documentary currently in production by Mercury Studios.
The official statement reads:
"We are excited to announce the theatrical release of Back To The Beginning: Ozzy’s Final Bow – coming early 2026.
The feature-length concert film will be a big-screen celebration of Ozzy Osbourne and the legacy of Black Sabbath, capturing the raw power and emotional weight of Ozzy’s final bow in his hometown of Birmingham.
Presented as a love letter to Ozzy and the pioneering sound of Black Sabbath, the theatrical release will be a distilled version of the epic all-day event held at Villa Park. Featuring thunderous performances of War Pigs, Iron Man, and a show-stopping Paranoid, the film promises a deeply personal and electrifying farewell from the godfather of heavy metal with exclusive behind-the-scenes access and interviews from this iconic live performance."
Alongside the original Black Sabbath lineup – Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward – a ton of musical guests joined the stage. Among them: Metallica, Guns N’ Roses, Slayer, Tool, Ghost’s Papa V Perpetua, Yungblud, II (Sleep Token), and more artists who’ve either shared the stage with Sabbath or been massively inspired by them.
