Ozzy & Black Sabbath: Back To The Beginning Set for Global Theatrical Event on Oct. 28

The film brings Ozzy Osbourne’s last public performance and the original Black Sabbath reunion to cinemas in a specially mixed Dolby Atmos presentation to preserve the night for fans worldwide.

Overview

  • Trafalgar Releasing and Mercury Studios announced a limited global cinema run beginning October 28, 2026, with tickets going on sale Thursday, September 24 at backtothebeginning.com.
  • The 100-minute film was directed for screen by Ben Wainwright-Pearce, produced by Mercury Studios, and mixed for Dolby Atmos and 5.1 to recreate the stadium audio-visual experience.
  • Footage comes from the July 5, 2025 Villa Park concert in Birmingham, which featured Ozzy’s solo set followed by a reunion with Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward performed together for the first time in more than 20 years.
  • Organizers and outlets report the original event drew about 42,000 attendees and an estimated 3 million paid livestream viewers, and some coverage says the concert raised roughly £11 million for charity though that figure is not uniformly corroborated.
  • The cinema release packages the star-studded farewell show, behind‑the‑scenes material and musician reflections, offering fans who missed the live event a communal, preserved memorial to Ozzy and Sabbath’s legacy.
