Last July, thousands of metal fans descended upon Birmingham, England to witness the last stand of one of the last remaining originals in the game, as Ozzy Osbourne played what would be his final concert. After over a year of tributes and a potential return of his namesake Ozzfest, we now know that the Back to the Beginning concert will be making its way to theaters in the form of a concert/documentary film.
The experience was filmed, as were interviews with the bevy of artists on hand on the day of the show. Without Ozzy, without Black Sabbath, there is not heavy metal, and there is therefore no nu metal or this humble Agenda, and losing the legend on July 22nd, 2025 is a loss from which we may never fully recover. But damn if we won't celebrate the man, the myth, the legend that was John Michael "Ozzy" Osbourne.
Check out the trailer for Ozzy & Black Sabbath: Back to the Beginning below:
The list of icons featured is a Who's Who of heavy metal of the last half century, including folks like Tom Morello, who served as musical director for the show, as well as Tool, Sleep Token's II, Disturbed's David Draiman, and so many more icons who paid their respects and homage one last time.
Tickets for the film, which releases in theaters on October 28th worldwide, can be found here.
