Ozzy Farewell Show Comes Home With Film and Soundtrack

Ozzy Farewell Show fans who missed the cinema screenings, or who want to relive the night again, now have a date to circle: the farewell concert is coming home. Mercury Studios will release the concert film and official soundtrack on home formats in December, following the film’s worldwide cinema debut, according to the singer’s official announcement and trade coverage of the release.

The home release turns a one-night stadium event into something fans can keep. The concert, staged at Villa Park in Birmingham, England, was the singer’s final live performance and reunited the original lineup of his former band for the first time in more than two decades. Demand for the show was extraordinary, with ticket requests running into the millions for a stadium that holds tens of thousands, which is why the filmed version has carried so much weight for fans who could not attend.

According to the official announcement, the soundtrack and film will arrive on December 11, 2026, on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, CD, vinyl and digital formats. Advance orders opened on the day of the cinema release, with a live performance video available immediately as an instant track for fans who place an order early. The film is presented in Dolby Atmos as well as surround-sound mixes, a detail that matters for a show built on volume, crowd noise and guitar tone.

What is on the film and the soundtrack

The concert film runs for three and a half hours and captures both halves of the farewell night: the singer’s solo set and the reunion set with guitarist Tony Iommi, bassist Geezer Butler and drummer Bill Ward. The bill around them reads like a hall of fame for heavy music, with sets and guest appearances from Metallica, Guns N’ Roses, Tool, Slayer, Pantera, Alice in Chains, Gojira, Anthrax, Lamb of God, Mastodon, Halestorm and Rival Sons, among others. Jason Momoa hosted the evening, and Tom Morello served as musical director.

The digital soundtrack focuses on the headline performances rather than the full guest bill. Its nine songs are “I Don’t Know,” “Suicide Solution,” “Mama, I’m Coming Home,” “Crazy Train,” “War Pigs,” “N.I.B.,” “Iron Man” and “Paranoid,” plus the instant track already released to advance buyers. That tracklist balances solo favourites with the band’s defining anthems, giving newcomers a concise entry point and longtime listeners a document of the final versions of songs they have followed for decades.

Bonus material adds a second layer to the package. The Blu-ray includes filmed guest performances of two well-known songs, one by actor and musician Jack Black and one by Fred Durst, alongside behind-the-scenes footage, video tributes from artists including Dolly Parton and the members of AC/DC, and a documentary about the band’s home city. The film was directed by Ben Wainwright-Pearce, with Tim van Someren directing the live concert footage, and Trafalgar Releasing handled the cinema distribution, according to trade reports.

Formats, coloured vinyl and the deluxe box

Collectors will have several editions to choose from. Physical options include a two-disc Blu-ray and CD edition and a vinyl-plus-Blu-ray collection, with limited coloured vinyl variants sold through different outlets: one splatter finish at the singer’s store, another at the band’s store, and a metallic finish at independent shops. For fans who prefer streaming or downloads, the digital album offers high-resolution and standard audio options.

A more expansive edition follows in the spring. A deluxe box set, available to pre-order now ahead of its release in April 2027, will include a bonus disc featuring every headline and guest song performed by special guests on the night — all 35 headline and guest performances — plus additional discs, a hardcover book running to more than seventy pages, a pendant necklace, a numbered certificate and a film poster print. That edition is aimed squarely at completists, and its price and scale mark it as a keepsake rather than a casual purchase.

The timing of the announcement matters. The cinema release landed on October 28, and the home announcement followed the same day, turning a theatrical moment into a longer sales window that runs through the holiday season. For the music business, that pattern is now familiar: a cinema event builds urgency, a physical release captures collectors, and a later deluxe edition gives the most devoted fans a reason to buy again. For this particular farewell, the emotional stakes are higher, because there will be no follow-up tour and no next album to promote.

Sharon Osbourne, who oversaw the concert and executive-produced the film, has described the event as a once-in-a-lifetime occasion, saying her husband’s only wish was to perform one last time to thank his fans and say goodbye. The singer died seventeen days after the concert, at the age of seventy-six, a fact that gives every frame of the film a weight no marketing campaign could manufacture. Viewed that way, the home release is less a product launch than a memorial object, one that preserves a voice and a stage presence that defined heavy music for half a century.

There is a counterpoint, too, and fans have already raised it online: a farewell that arrives in cinemas, then on disc, then in a deluxe box can feel like the same night being sold three times. The defence from the label’s side is that each edition serves a different audience — cinema-goers, home listeners and collectors — and that the bonus disc and book in the deluxe set add material that was not in the standard editions. Whether that argument persuades a given fan will likely depend on how much they value owning the night rather than simply remembering it.

For readers catching up on the story, the cinema chapter was covered in the site’s report on the film reaching cinemas. The wider trend of veteran acts turning farewell tours into lasting releases is also visible in recent coverage of a guitar hero’s new album and world tour and a younger band’s ambitious North American routing, showing how live music now lives as much on screens and shelves as on stage.

What happens next is simple for fans of the Ozzy Farewell Show: orders are open, the standard home editions arrive in December, and the deluxe box follows in the spring. The harder question — how a farewell should be remembered, and how often it should be reissued — will be answered by listeners themselves, one living room at a time, as the final show settles from event into history.
