Black Sabbath Concert Film: Back to the Beginning – Ozzy’s Final Bow Set for Theatrical Release in 2026
Heavy metal fans, mark your calendars. A thunderous farewell is heading to the big screen. Back To The Beginning: Ozzy’s Final Bow, the highly anticipated concert film documenting Ozzy Osbourne’s emotional final performance, is set for a global theatrical release in early 2026.
Captured live at Villa Park in Birmingham—Ozzy’s birthplace and the very soil where Black Sabbath began their reign—this feature-length film is more than just a concert. It’s a cinematic tribute to the godfather of heavy metal, immortalizing one of the most powerful chapters in rock history.
The film presents a condensed version of the epic all-day “Back to the Beginning” event that took place on July 5, 2025. Thousands of fans gathered at Aston Villa’s stadium to witness the final live appearance of Ozzy Osbourne, joined by a stellar lineup of guest musicians and surviving members of Black Sabbath. The occasion wasn’t just a concert—it was a pilgrimage for generations of fans who came to say farewell to a legend in the city where it all began.
Directed with reverence and rock ‘n’ roll grit, Ozzy’s Final Bow delivers unforgettable performances of iconic Sabbath anthems including “War Pigs,” “Iron Man,” “Children of the Grave,” and a climactic, crowd-roaring rendition of “Paranoid.” With sweeping cinematography, pulse-pounding sound design, and intimate backstage footage, the film captures both the grandeur and the humanity of the moment.
While the music forms the backbone of the film, Back to the Beginning also delves into the heart of the artist behind the voice. Through exclusive interviews and candid behind-the-scenes moments, viewers will experience Ozzy as they’ve never seen him before—vulnerable, reflective, and fiercely connected to his roots. From soundcheck nerves to the roar of the crowd, the film reveals the emotional gravity of a career-defining farewell.
“This is for Birmingham, and for every single fan who’s stood by me,” Ozzy said during the concert, a statement that echoes throughout the film’s narrative. “I came from nothing—and you gave me everything.”
The film also pays homage to Black Sabbath’s unparalleled influence on music and culture. More than five decades after their debut, Sabbath’s heavy riffs, dark themes, and sonic innovation remain a defining force in modern music. Back to the Beginning serves not only as a curtain call for Ozzy but also as a celebration of the band that changed rock forever.
Presented as a love letter to the fans and to heavy metal itself, Back to the Beginning: Ozzy’s Final Bow is an unmissable big-screen experience. Whether you’re a lifelong Sabbath devotee or discovering their legacy anew, this film is a farewell forged in fire, heart, and pure rock ‘n’ roll.
Tickets and screening dates will be announced later this year.
