Didn’t get tickets to Black Sabbath’s final show? You can livestream it – here’s how
If you’re one of the many who didn’t manage to nab tickets to Black Sabbath’s final show in the 16 minutes before they sold out, you’ll be pleased to know it will be streamed live, so you can watch from home.
The event, dubbed Back to the Beginning, will see Sabbath’s original lineup – Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward – reunite for one final time at Villa Park in their hometown of Birmingham, with support from genre heavyweights including Metallica, Slayer, Pantera, Alice in Chains, Gojira and many more.

And it’s now been revealed that a pay-per-view livestream will be available, produced by Mercury Studios, the same company behind Metallica Saved My Life and One to One: John & Yoko.
Livestream tickets are available now via backtothebeginning.com, priced at £24.99 each. Viewers will not only get access to the livestream itself from 3PM on the day of the event (5 July); they’ll also be able to rewatch the show in its entirety for 48 hours afterwards.
“We had such an overwhelming demand from fans from around the globe, who couldn’t get tickets to the show, and they took to social media, pleading with us to broadcast a livestream of the show. Being this is such a historic event, we just couldn’t let them down,” says Sharon Osbourne, Ozzy’s wife and manager.
Kelly Sweeney, managing director of Mercury Studios, adds: “Mercury Studios [is] incredibly proud to be involved in capturing this monumental milestone at Villa Park. Back To The Beginning will be an unforgettable experience, and our aim is to deliver this moment to fans worldwide, wherever they are, so they don’t miss out on seeing music history being made.”
In other news, Ozzy Osbourne recently spoke of his struggle to accept how influential he’s been on other musicians over the course of his career, commenting: “I’m very self-critical about people’s adoration.” He also promised that despite his physical ailments, he’ll be giving the show “120%” effort.
