It’s now official: a feature-length film capturing their monumental “Back to the Beginning” farewell concert will premiere in cinemas worldwide in early 2026, giving fans everywhere the chance to relive a truly historic night in rock history.
The highly anticipated film, produced by Mercury Studios, documents the epic July 5, 2025 performance at Villa Park in Birmingham—Ozzy Osbourne’s hometown and the very birthplace of Black Sabbath. This emotional farewell event, titled “Back to the Beginning: Ozzy’s Final Bow,” united the original Black Sabbath lineup for what many are calling a once-in-a-lifetime show. The concert not only served as a tribute to the band’s five-decade legacy but also marked Ozzy’s final live appearance after his recent retirement from touring.
The 100-minute feature promises to showcase electrifying live performances of Sabbath classics like “War Pigs,” “Iron Man,” “Children of the Grave,” and the thunderous “Paranoid.” In addition to the music, fans will be treated to exclusive backstage footage, intimate interviews with the band members, and emotional moments that highlight the enduring bond between Ozzy, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and the fans who made Black Sabbath legends.
Social media exploded following the official announcement, with Black Sabbath’s verified account confirming the news: “A feature-length film of the Back to the Beginning concert is coming to cinemas in early 2026.” The project aims to capture the energy, spectacle, and nostalgia of the night when Birmingham became the global capital of heavy metal one last time.
With anticipation building among rock and metal fans worldwide, “Back to the Beginning: Ozzy’s Final Bow” is already shaping up to be a must-see cinematic event. For those who couldn’t attend the show, and for everyone who wants to relive it on the grandest scale, 2026 will offer the ultimate Black Sabbath experience—one that’s sure to echo for generations.
