(Birmingham, UK) — Heavy metal icons Black Sabbath will reunite for a final show in England this summer. The original lineup of Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward will perform together for the first time in 20 years at the “Back to the Beginning” one day festival. Osbourne will also play a short solo set as part of his last performance. Several other acts are also on the bill including Metallica, Slayer and Pantera. “Back to the Beginning” will take place in Birmingham, England on July 5th with tickets going on sale February 14th.
Black Sabbath has played in partial reunions over the last 20 years, but this is the first time all band mates will be together since 2005. Osbourne left the band in 1979 to deal with drug and alcohol problems, and after rehab went on to a successful solo career.
