Black Sabbath Announces 2026 Farewell Tour: ‘One Last Ride’ Marks the End of a Rock Legend’s Era – Dates and Cities Revealed… Watch Now
The gods of heavy metal are taking one final bow. Black Sabbath, the legendary band that pioneered the genre and redefined rock music forever, has officially announced their final tour—titled One Last Ride—set for 2026. This farewell tour will mark the end of an extraordinary era that spans over five decades of thunderous riffs, dark anthems, and a legacy etched into the soul of music history.
After years of speculation, and following the monumental success of their 2024 Back to the Beginning reunion concert at Villa Park in Birmingham, Black Sabbath is ready to take their last journey across the globe. The tour will reunite iconic members Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, and Geezer Butler, with a rotating lineup of guest drummers and musicians paying tribute to the late and living legends that made Sabbath what it is today.
A Tour Born from Legacy—and Love
Speaking in a joint statement released on Sunday, July 13, the band shared:
“This is it—the final tour. One Last Ride is for every fan who stood by us, who screamed our songs, raised their fists, and gave us a reason to keep playing. We’re not going quietly—we’re going with fire.”
Ozzy Osbourne, the Prince of Darkness himself, also added:
“It’s emotional. I never thought I’d still be doing this at 76, but here we are. This tour is about saying thank you to the fans. Without them, there’s no Sabbath. Simple as that.”
