The original four—Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward—are actually playing together. This is like finding out all four Beatles agreed to play “Yellow Submarine” underwater, except louder and scarier. Yes, Bill Ward is back. The drum stool is no longer cursed by contract disputes. We can all exhale.
But wait, there’s more. The supporting cast includes Metallica (yes, the whole snack bar), Slayer (they rose from the grave just to blow your eardrums), and Lamb of God. Honestly, the list reads like the back of a high school bully’s notebook, but with better dental plans.
The Venue: Villa Park, a Holy Ground of Riffs
They’re playing at Aston Villa’s stadium in Birmingham—Sabbath’s hometown. This is where Ozzy grew up, presumably while practicing his signature “deer in headlights” look. The show happens on July 5, 2026. Mark your calendar in permanent marker. Or, you know, use a phone like a normal person. But be warned: tickets are rarer than a quiet Ozzy interview.
