The Back to the Beginning Show will take place in Birmingham this summer, and it will be directed by Rage Against The Machine's Tom Morello.

The event was first announced at Villa Park by Sharon Osbourne and Tony Iommi on 5th February 2025, and it will be Black Sabbath's first time performing together in 20 years.

The band are going out with a bang, with an all-day concert, which is more like a condensed version of a multi-day festival.

And it won't just be Black Sabbath that fans will be seeing live. The group has assembled a rock supergroup of acts that will be joining them at Villa Park.

This will be one of the most highly anticipated events in heavy metal history and with that in mind, we're here to show you how you can get your hands on tickets.
