Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath fans who missed this month’s Back to the Beginning farewell concert, don’t fret — the star-studded extravaganza is coming to the big screen in early 2026.
Mercury Studios will cut down the all-day event into a 100-minute film titled Back to the Beginning: Ozzy’s Final Bow.
“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,” a press release said. “Featuring thunderous performances of ‘War Pigs,’ ‘Iron Man,’ ‘Children of the Grave’ 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.”
How Ozzy Osbourne Made History With Back to the Beginning Concert
The Back to the Beginning concert drew more than 40,000 fans to Villa Park in Black Sabbath’s hometown of Birmingham, England. The massive event doubled as Osbourne’s final concert and a reunion of the original Black Sabbath lineup: Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward. The four metal pioneers hadn’t played together in 20 years prior to the show.
Other rock and metal giants on the bill included Metallica, Guns N’ Roses, Slayer, Pantera and Anthrax, plus a variety of supergroups, who paid tribute to the evening’s headliners by covering Black Sabbath and Ozzy songs.
