Black Sabbath's final concert has expanded its already impressive lineup with the addition of Guns N' Roses, Tool, and Rival Sons. The farewell event, hosted by Jason Mamoa, will take place on July 5 at Villa Park in Birmingham, UK, with tickets having sold out in under 10 minutes.

The 'Back to the Beginning' show features an extraordinary roster including Metallica, Slayer, Pantera, Gojira, Alice in Chains, Halestorm, Lamb of God, Anthrax, and Mastodon. A special supergroup will perform to honor Ozzy's contributions to metal music.

Notable supergroup members include:

• Slash and Duff McKagan (Guns N' Roses)
• Billy Corgan (The Smashing Pumpkins)
• Tom Morello (Rage Against the Machine)
• Chad Smith (Red Hot Chili Peppers)
• Wolfgang Van Halen (Van Halen)
• Jonathan Davis (Korn)
• Sammy Hagar
• David Draiman (Disturbed)

This marks the first performance of Black Sabbath's original lineup since 2005. While Ozzy Osbourne won't perform a full set due to health concerns, his wife Sharon confirmed this will be his "full stop" moment, giving him a chance to properly say goodbye to fans.

The event will benefit several charitable causes:

• Cure Parkinson's
• Birmingham Children's Hospital
• Acorn Children's Hospice

The overwhelming demand for tickets saw over 500,000 people in the queue for this historic farewell show.
