Guns N' Roses, Tool, and a star-studded lineup of metal acts will join Black Sabbath's final farewell concert at Villa Park in Birmingham, UK on July 5. The sold-out show, which saw over 500,000 people queuing for tickets, marks the first performance of Black Sabbath's original lineup since 2005.

The 'Back to the Beginning' event features an impressive roster including Metallica, Slayer, Pantera, Gojira, Alice in Chains, Halestorm, Lamb of God, Anthrax, and Mastodon. Jason Mamoa will host the historic event.

A special supergroup will perform to honor Ozzy Osbourne, featuring members from various legendary bands including:

• Slash and Duff McKagan (Guns N' Roses)
• Billy Corgan (The Smashing Pumpkins)
• Tom Morello (Rage Against the Machine)
• Chad Smith (Red Hot Chili Peppers)
• Wolfgang Van Halen (Van Halen)
• Jonathan Davis (Korn)
• And many other renowned musicians

This concert marks a significant moment for Ozzy Osbourne, who hasn't performed a full show since 2018 due to health issues, including his Parkinson's diagnosis in 2020. Sharon Osbourne confirmed that while Ozzy won't perform a full set, this event serves as his "full stop" and final goodbye to fans.

All proceeds from the event will benefit Cure Parkinson's, Birmingham Children's Hospital, and Acorn Children's Hospice.
