Black Sabbath to Play Farewell Show in Birmingham with Ozzy Osbourne in July 2025 – Metallica, Slayer and Pantera to Feature!

Black Sabbath have officially announced their final-ever live performance, bringing their legendary career to a close with a farewell show in Birmingham in July 2025. The one-off event, titled ‘The Final Bow’, will take place at Villa Park and see the band reunite with Ozzy Osbourne for one last time.

The show will also feature some of the biggest names in heavy metal, with Metallica, Slayer, and Pantera confirmed as part of the line-up. It promises to be an unmissable event, celebrating the band’s monumental impact on the genre and giving fans one final chance to see them perform together.

A Historic Farewell in Their Hometown

Rumours of a Black Sabbath reunion had been circulating for some time, but this announcement makes it official. With Osbourne’s ongoing health issues casting doubt on future performances, this final concert is set to be a significant moment in rock history. The frontman, now 76, has been open about his determination to return to the stage despite recent challenges.

“Birmingham is where it started, and Birmingham is where it ends,” Osbourne said in a statement. “I wouldn’t have it any other way.”

The show will also see original members Tony Iommi and Geezer Butler perform alongside Osbourne. However, there has been no confirmation of drummer Bill Ward’s involvement, leaving fans speculating on whether he will join them for this historic night.

Demand Expected to Be High

Given the significance of the event, demand for tickets is expected to be overwhelming. Black Sabbath have not performed together since their ‘The End’ tour in 2017, which was originally believed to be their last. However, with Osbourne determined to give fans a proper farewell, this concert will serve as their definitive final performance.

The inclusion of Metallica, Slayer, and Pantera further cements ‘The Final Bow’ as one of the most important metal events in recent history. Each of these bands has been heavily influenced by Black Sabbath, making this farewell show a true celebration of their legacy.

Fans eager to secure their place at Villa Park will need to act fast when tickets go on sale. With one final chance to witness Black Sabbath take the stage, this concert is set to be an unforgettable moment for metal fans worldwide.
