In a moment that will mark the end of an era in rock history, Black Sabbath and Ozzy Osbourne’s final live performance will be available for fans around the world to watch from the comfort of their homes. This historic concert long anticipated by millions will be live streamed globally, giving audiences everywhere a front-row seat to one of heavy metal’s most legendary acts taking their final bow.
The Last Show
The performance, scheduled for July 27, 2025, will be held at Birmingham’s Utilita Arena, the band’s hometown and the birthplace of heavy metal. For many fans, the setting could not be more fitting. Black Sabbath formed in Birmingham in 1968 and went on to define an entire genre, inspiring countless musicians and shaping the landscape of rock for generations.
This farewell show is especially significant for frontman Ozzy Osbourne, whose health issues in recent years have made touring difficult. Yet, defying the odds, Osbourne has repeatedly expressed his desire to “go out with a bang” and thank fans properly with a final, full-circle performance.
A Global Celebration of Metal Legacy
Thanks to a collaboration between the band, Live Nation, and a major global streaming platform (to be announced later this week), the show will be available to stream live across the globe. Viewers will be able to tune in through a pay-per-view model or with a special digital pass that includes exclusive behind-the-scenes content, interviews, and archival footage.
In a joint statement, the band said:
“This is for the fans. We’ve lived through decades of change, but your loyalty has never wavered. Whether you’ve been with us since the beginning or discovered our music last week, this night is for you.”
More Than Just a Concert
Beyond the performance itself, the event is expected to include a tribute segment honoring the legacy of Black Sabbath. Longtime collaborators, musicians influenced by the band, and special guests are rumored to appear. Fans are speculating appearances by Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and even former drummer Bill Ward though no official confirmation has been made.
The livestream will be available in multiple time zones and languages, with replay access offered for a limited time following the event. Fans will also be able to purchase commemorative merchandise, including limited-edition vinyl, posters, and a concert documentary set for release in early 2026.
The End of the Beginning
For a band whose music has defined rebellion, darkness, and raw authenticity, this final performance stands as a tribute not just to a remarkable career, but to a cultural force that reshaped rock forever.
As Ozzy Osbourne famously said, “I’m not retiring from music. I’m just not going to be on the road anymore.” This final performance ensures that fans everywhere—old and new—will get to witness one last roar from the original lords of heavy metal.
Tickets for the livestream will go on sale June 20, and more details on access and bonus content will be released in the coming days.
