NEW ERA: Ozzy Osbourne Featured on 2026 Farewell Tour — ‘One Last Ride’ Marks the End of a Rock Legend’s Era, Dates and Cities Revealed
Get ready to raise the horns one last time. The Prince of Darkness is hitting the road for his final curtain call. Ozzy Osbourne has officially announced his 2026 Farewell Tour, aptly titled “One Last Ride,” a global celebration of an extraordinary six-decade career that helped shape the sound and soul of heavy metal. This historic run will mark Ozzy’s final series of live performances, with dates and cities now confirmed.
The tour will kick off in Birmingham, UK, his hometown, on March 14, 2026, and conclude in Los Angeles, California on August 9, 2026 — the very city where much of his solo career was born. With a carefully curated setlist that spans his Black Sabbath legacy and solo anthems, One Last Ride promises to be more than just a farewell — it’s a monument to a musical force who changed the world.
A Farewell Years in the Making
Ozzy’s retirement from music was officially announced earlier in 2025, following years of serious health challenges including Parkinson’s disease, multiple surgeries, and a spinal injury that forced the cancellation of previous tours. Fans feared they had seen the last of him on stage. But now, after months of recovery and preparation, Osbourne is making it clear: he’s going out on his own terms.
“This tour means everything to me,” Ozzy said in an official statement. “I wasn’t sure I’d ever get back out there, but I’ve been working with my doctors, my team, and my family. The body’s not what it used to be — but the spirit is alive and kicking. I owe this to my fans. One last ride… and it’s gonna be wild.”
The tour will be a tightly managed and medically monitored event, with built-in rest periods between shows and carefully selected venues that accommodate Ozzy’s health needs. His longtime bandmates — including Zakk Wylde, Tommy Clufetos, and Adam Wakeman — will join him on stage.

This tour is for the fans. For the decades of devotion. For the wild nights and the quiet tears. For the crazy trains we all ride.
And above all — for Ozzy.
Long live the Prince of Darkness.
