Guns N’ Roses, Tool & Rival Sons Join Black Sabbath’s Final Farewell Concert

The star-studded lineup for the farewell sendoff of Black Sabbath and Ozzy Osbourne just got even more legendary. The sold-out event, set for July 5th at Villa Park in Birmingham, UK, will mark the final onstage reunion of Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, and Bill Ward, closing the chapter on one of heavy metal’s most iconic legacies.

Before Black Sabbath takes the stage for one last time, Osbourne will deliver a short solo set, celebrating his decades-long career outside the band.

Joining the already stacked bill are Guns N’ Roses, Tool, and Rival Sons, rounding out an all-star lineup. The updated roster for this historic event now includes:

Metallica
Guns N’ Roses
Slayer
Tool
Pantera
Gojira
Halestorm
Alice In Chains
Lamb Of God
Anthrax
Mastodon
Rival Sons

Adding even more firepower to the event, Rage Against The Machine guitarist Tom Morello has been announced as the musical director for a special jam session tribute honoring the legendary works of Black Sabbath and Ozzy Osbourne.

This all-star performance will feature a rotating cast of musicians, with the following participants confirmed so far:

Andrew Watt
