In a heartfelt celebration of one of heavy metal’s most iconic bands, a new concert film chronicling the final performance of Black Sabbath, featuring Ozzy Osbourne, is officially scheduled for release in 2026. The upcoming feature will offer fans a powerful and intimate look at the band’s emotional last concert, held in their hometown of Birmingham back in February 2017.
Titled The End: Black Sabbath’s Final Bow, the film will dive deep into the band’s farewell performance, which marked the close of a nearly 50-year legacy. While fans have seen clips and heard live recordings over the years, this new version promises the complete experience—fully remastered and enriched with previously unseen moments and reflections.
Ozzy Osbourne, now in his mid-70s and facing ongoing health challenges, expressed his gratitude for the film’s upcoming release. “I didn’t think I’d get to relive that night again,” he said. “It was one of the most emotional nights of my life. Birmingham is where it all started, and ending it there made it all the more meaningful.”
Unlike standard concert films, this one aims to deliver much more. Directed by longtime collaborators of the band, the film will combine live performances with backstage footage, rehearsal scenes, and candid interviews with Ozzy, guitarist Tony Iommi, and bassist Geezer Butler. Viewers will get a rare, behind-the-curtain look at the band’s final days together.
Tony Iommi reflected on the weight of the night: “It wasn’t just another gig—it was our goodbye. There were so many emotions backstage. This film really captures what we were all feeling.”
Geezer Butler added, “Knowing it was the last time made every moment feel different heavier. This isn’t just a film about music. It’s about the people, the journey, and the fans who stuck with us all the way.”
The release will mark the 10th anniversary of Black Sabbath’s final performance, serving as a cinematic tribute to their unmatched influence on the world of rock and metal. Details about the release platform whether it will be in theaters, streamed, or released physically are expected to be announced soon.
For fans around the world, Black Sabbath’s legacy is more than just music it’s a cultural movement. This film promises to honor that legacy, offering one last glimpse at the band that redefined heavy metal and inspired countless artists over the decades.
Though Black Sabbath’s time on stage has come to an end, this film ensures their final bow will live on for generations to come.
“From the place we began, to the place we said goodbye this is our story, one final time.” Ozzy Osbourne
