We Are Excited to Announce the Theatrical Release of Back To The Beginning: Ozzy’s Final Bow – Coming Early 2026
In what promises to be one of the most emotional and electrifying moments in rock history, Back To The Beginning: Ozzy’s Final Bow is officially headed to the big screen. Arriving in theaters worldwide in early 2026, the feature-length concert film captures the historic final live performance of Ozzy Osbourne in his hometown of Birmingham — a farewell that marks the end of an era for the Prince of Darkness and the legendary legacy of Black Sabbath.
This cinematic tribute is more than just a concert. It is a love letter to Ozzy, to the generations of fans who have followed his every scream and stomp, and to the revolutionary sound of heavy metal that he helped create. Back To The Beginning immortalizes the raw, thunderous energy of Ozzy’s last stand in front of a sold-out crowd at Villa Park — the stadium where it all came full circle.
A Monumental Day in Music History
The concert, held in the summer of 2025, was billed as “Ozzy’s Final Bow” — a once-in-a-lifetime homecoming event that spanned an entire day. Fans from across the globe descended on Birmingham to celebrate a man whose music has shaped five decades of rock and roll. The show was not just a send-off, it was a pilgrimage. The atmosphere was electric, the emotion palpable, and the performances unforgettable.
The film, directed by acclaimed music documentarian Sophie Morgan, distills this epic day into a tightly crafted theatrical experience. From the crushing opening riffs of “War Pigs” to the crowd-igniting finale of “Paranoid,” Back To The Beginning is both an auditory assault and a deeply personal farewell. Ozzy’s stage presence, even in his final performance, remains unmatched — full of fire, grit, and heart.
More Than a Concert – A Legacy Etched in Celluloid
Audiences will not only be treated to blistering renditions of Black Sabbath classics like “Iron Man,” “N.I.B.,” and “Children of the Grave,” but also to rare, behind-the-scenes footage that sheds light on the man behind the myth. The film includes intimate interviews with Ozzy, longtime bandmates Tony Iommi and Geezer Butler, as well as conversations with special guests and family members, giving fans unprecedented access into the emotional weight of this farewell.
Ozzy’s final bow is not just a personal milestone—it is the closing chapter in the story of Black Sabbath, the band that laid the blueprint for heavy metal as we know it. Their impact spans generations, and this film ensures that their legacy is enshrined in glorious, gut-rattling sound and color.
From Birmingham to the World
It is fitting that the final concert took place in Birmingham, the industrial heartland that birthed Black Sabbath’s heavy, sludgy sound. The city’s soot-covered skies and working-class grit shaped the darkness and intensity of their music. Back To The Beginning celebrates this full-circle moment — Ozzy, returning home, saying goodbye on his own terms, surrounded by the very streets and spirits that forged him.
The theatrical release will bring this emotional, thunderous farewell to audiences around the world — offering a front-row seat to those who couldn’t be there and a chance to relive the magic for those who were. Every sweat-drenched guitar solo, every scream, every tear — all captured with cinematic precision and uncompromising passion.
Ozzy’s Parting Words
In an early teaser, Ozzy is seen backstage, staring into the distance as the crowd roars outside. He smiles faintly and says, “It all started here… and now, I end it here. Thank you for everything.” That moment — vulnerable, humble, and raw — perfectly captures what this film is about.
It’s not just a goodbye. It’s a celebration of life, sound, struggle, and triumph. It’s a thank you. It’s a love story between an artist and his audience.

Back To The Beginning: Ozzy’s Final Bow opens in theaters worldwide in early 2026.
