Excitement for Black Sabbath's reunion gig is spreading after tickets went on general sale. Fans who managed to secure tickets in the scramble were celebrating on Friday, while those less fortunate tried not to feel too "paranoid".

Ozzy Osbourne is performing his farewell show with the band’s original lineup, backed by bands including Metallica, Slayer and Lamb of God

Black Sabbath frontman Ozzy Osbourne will reunite with his original bandmates this summer for his final live performance.

The show is especially bittersweet considering Osbourne has largely been sidelined from all live appearances due to ongoing medical issues. Osbourne played his last proper show in 2018, and made two appearances in 2022 at the Commonwealth Games Closing Ceremony and the NFL Kickoff.

Black Sabbath and Ozzy Osbourne's swan song boasts a stacked metal lineup unlike any other single-day festival of this century.

The original line-up of heavy metal legends Black Sabbath, including Ozzy Osbourne, will play together for the first time in 20 years at a one-off concert on July 5 in Birmingham, England, organisers said on Wednesday.

Scheduled for July 5 at Villa Park, the show will feature Osbourne playing a short solo set, followed by him joining Sabbath for what's described as his "final bow." There will also be performances by Metallica, Slayer, Pantera, Gojira, Halestorm, Alice in Chains, Lamb of God, Anthrax and Mastodon.

Ozzy Osbourne will reunite with all of the original members of Black Sabbath for the first time in 20 years, in a gig that will be his last and that’s being billed as the “greatest” heavy metal show e
