Ozzy Osbourne’s biopic “The Nine Lives of Ozzy Osbourne” premieres at Millennium Point on 4 July, ahead of black sabbath’s final reunion concert at Villa Park.

Birmingham will celebrate its native rock icon with the world premiere of The Nine Lives Of Ozzy Osbourne, a new film chronicling the extraordinary life of the Prince of Darkness. The screening will take place on 4 July at Millennium Point, just one day before Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath reunite for what is set to be a historic fundraising concert at Villa Park.

Fans of the legendary heavy metal vocalist will have two chances to see the film on its premiere day, with showings at 16:00 and 18:30 BST. The event promises to be more than just a film screening, as Ozzy’s son Jack Osbourne will join the evening session for a live Q&A, offering intimate insights into the Osbourne family and Ozzy’s remarkable journey.

The Nine Lives Of Ozzy Osbourne delves deep into the life of the Birmingham-born star, tracing his childhood roots in the city, the explosive rise of Black Sabbath, and his subsequent solo career that cemented his place in rock history. The film paints a vivid picture of the highs and lows of a man whose music helped shape the heavy metal genre worldwide.

The premiere will also support important causes, with all proceeds going to Cure Parkinson’s, Acorns Children’s Hospice, and Birmingham Children’s Hospital—charities close to the Osbourne family’s heart.

Black Sabbath’s influence on rock and metal is undeniable. Formed in Birmingham in 1968, the band’s legendary original lineup—Ozzy Osbourne, guitarist Tony Iommi, bassist Geezer Butler, and drummer Bill Ward—shaped the sound of heavy metal music. Their first rehearsal took place just minutes from Villa Park, linking the band’s origins deeply to the city.

On 5 July, the band will headline a one-day festival at Villa Park featuring a line-up of metal giants inspired by Black Sabbath, including Metallica, Pantera, Slayer, Gojira, and Anthrax. This concert will mark the original four members’ first performance together in 20 years, making it a historic moment for fans and the music world alike.

Ozzy Osbourne, however, has faced considerable health challenges in recent years. His Parkinson’s diagnosis and spinal injuries have largely forced him to step back from touring, making this reunion and the accompanying film premiere especially poignant for fans.

The combination of the film screening and the reunion concert creates a unique celebration of Ozzy Osbourne’s legacy and Birmingham’s central role in rock music history. It’s a chance for fans to reflect on the remarkable career of a man who survived personal and professional battles to become a global rock legend.

With Millennium Point hosting the premiere, Birmingham once again takes centre stage in the story of heavy metal, honoring one of its most iconic sons and the band that defined a genre. This weekend in July promises to be a monumental occasion for music lovers, blending film, history, charity, and a final unforgettable performance.
