Aston Villa today announced that rock legend and Aston native Ozzy Osbourne will perform at Villa Park on Saturday, July 5.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Osbourne will be joined by the original Black Sabbath members \u2013 Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward \u2013 marking their first performance in 20 years. The all-day music event, ‘Back to the Beginning’, is set to be the largest rock concert ever held at Villa Park and will elevate the ground\u2019s position as both a world-class sports and the Midlands\u2019 premier entertainment destination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The concert is part of Aston Villa\u2019s broader strategy to establish Villa Park as a world-class live events venue, combining the excitement of football with year-round entertainment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Club recently underwent a strategic redevelopment of Villa Park, designed to generate new revenue streams and reinforce Aston Villa\u2019s position as an economic driver for West Midlands and beyond.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This project includes the recently announced North Grounds redevelopment and opening of The Warehouse, a new multi-use venue set to become a centrepiece of the matchday experience, a hub for year-round entertainment, and a must-play music venue for touring artists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
