This morning, Wednesday, February 5, Sharon Osbourne and Tony Iommi announced to the world that Black Sabbath's original line-up was set to reunite for one last show together. Ozzy's final bow will take place on Saturday, July 5, 2025 and they're not coming alone.

There are no fewer than nine other bands confirmed to play, including Metallica and Gojira - you can read the full line-up here. It reads like a who's who of heavy metal heroes.

What's more, superstars from other bands have confirmed they'll be joining in with the action, forming a supergroup. Again, the list is extensive so we've popped it here.

With all of those stars, it really does beg the question: How much will tickets be when they go on sale on Friday, February 14 at LiveNation.co.uk? Well, at the moment, that's a bit of a mystery.

Prices have yet to be announced but one huge thing HAS been revealed. All profits from the sale of the tickets will go to Cure Parkinson's, Birmingham Children's Hospital and Aston Villa's chosen children's hospice charity, Acorns.

We haven't had an all-day music event like this at Villa Park Stadium before, but we might get some idea of ticket prices if we take a look at how much other gig tickets go for.

While Guns N' Roses members Slash and Duff McKagan will be joining Ozzy at the special gig, their band has its own stand alone gig coming up at Villa Park on Monday, June 23. Tickets to that show are £89.70 for the cheapest tickets, with a restricted view.

That doesn't give us any indication of specific prices, but it gives us a bottom end ballpark, at least. We'll get all of the details for you just as soon as we can. Subscribe to our newsletter so you don't miss a thing.
