Guns N’ Roses, Tool, and Jason Momoa have been added to the star-studded lineup for Black Sabbath’s final reunion concert, set for July 5 at Villa Park in Birmingham, England. Aquaman star Momoa will host the event, with Rage Against the Machine’s Tom Morello serving as musical director. Ozzy Osbourne’s official Instagram revealed the lineup additions on Monday (February 17), which also includes Rival Sons, Red Hot Chili Peppers drummer Chad Smith, songwriter-producer Andrew Watt, and bassist Dave Ellefson. Osbourne also disclosed that he would not be performing an entire set with his Sabbath bandmates that day. “I’m not planning on doing a set with Black Sabbath but I am doing little bits and pieces with them,” Osbourne said. “I am doing what I can, where I feel comfortable.” In addition to the last-ever Sabbath reunion and Ozzy’s final solo show, Back to the Beginning will also feature performances from metal titans Metallica, Slayer, Pantera, Anthrax, Gojira, Lamb of God, Mastodon, Alice in Chains, and Halestorm.
