Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath's final show in July 2025 was a massive success, setting streaming records for a rock concert and producing memorable moments from the artists who performed covers. Back to the Beginning was legendary, and if you missed it, you are still in luck: The concert has been turned into a film.
The theatrical release will come out worldwide on October 28, though in a limited run. Tickets will go on sale on September 24 at 10 am ET. You will need to check to see if a cinema near you is showing the film, but you can do so on the official Back to the Beginning site.
Ben Wainwright-Pearce directed the film, and that is a good sign that what fans see in the theater will be epic. The director also directed Taylor Swift's Eras Tour film as well as George Michael's Faith Tour. Both of those were excellent, and the expectation is that Wainwright-Pearce won't suddenly fail to do a good job with Back to the Beginning.

What isn't known is which performances will be part of the film or what the runtime will be, and the show was an all-day event. Wainwright-Pearce might focus mostly on the end of the concert, which featured Black Sabbath and a solo set by Ozzy Osbourne.
Osbourne's songs included "Crazy Train," of course, and "Mama, I'm Coming Home." The latter was more poignant on reflection, as Osbourne died 17 days later due to complications from a long-term illness.
Black Sabbath's tunes included "Paranoid" and "Iron Man," but everything that Sabbath and Ozzy did was fantastic. One would not have known that the group consisting of Ozzy, guitarist Tony Iommi, bassist Geezer Butler, and drummer Bill Ward (who went shirtless during the show) had not performed together in more than 20 years.
Other standout moments from Back to the Beginning included, somewhat surprisingly, Yungblud doing a rendition of Sabbath's "Changes," Lamb of God delivering two covers with enough aggression that the mosh pit finally got going, and the Ozzy and Sabbath sets.
The presumption should be that the entirety of what Black Sabbath and Ozzy Osbourne performed will be part of the film, as well as interviews with those involved. The aftermath of the show would also be a nice inclusion. Whatever happens in the flick, fans can assume it will be well-made and maybe a bit tearful. At least the music of Sabbath and Ozzy will never leave us.
