Guns N’ Roses, Tool, Jason Momoa & More Join Black Sabbath’s Final Concert

Guns N’ Roses, Tool, Jason Momoa and more have been added to the lineup for Black Sabbath’s final reunion concert.

On Monday (Feb. 17), Ozzy Osbourne‘s official Instagram account revealed the new additions to the star-studded Back to the Beginning show, set for July 5 at Villa Park in Birmingham, England.

Aquaman actor Momoa will host the event, while Rage Against the Machine’s Tom Morello will serve as musical director. Other newly announced acts include Rival Sons, Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith, songwriter-producer Andrew Watt, and bassist Dave Ellefson.

In early February, Black Sabbath confirmed details of their last-ever live performance, which will feature the classic lineup of Osbourne, guitarist Tony Iommi, bassist Geezer Butler, and drummer Bill Ward. It will be the first time the original band has performed together in two decades.

“I’m not planning on doing a set with Black Sabbath but I am doing little bits and pieces with them,” Osbourne said recently on his Ozzy Speaks program on SiriusXM’s Ozzy’s Boneyard. “I am doing what I can, where I feel comfortable.”

Osbourne hasn’t staged a full concert since Dec. 31, 2018, the final date of his No More Tours trek. Just two months later, he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s, and his health has since impacted further large-scale performance plans, leading to numerous cancellations.

Described as “the final show” on promotional artwork, the Back to the Beginning lineup also features Metallica, Slayer, Anthrax, Pantera, Lamb of God, Mastodon, Alice in Chains and Halestorm, Gojira, among others.
