Metallica made sure to get fans pumped and rocked their opening act at the final Black Sabbath show in Birmingham, England.
The ‘80s heavy metal band followed the performances of other legendary groups at the Saturday, July 5, “Back to the Beginning” concert – including Aerosmith, Guns N’ Roses, Slayer, Ghost and The Smashing Pumpkins. Metallica, led by frontman James Hetfield, performed two of their songs and covered four Black Sabbath hits.
Honoring the band of the evening, Metallica kicked off their set with Black Sabbath’s “Hole in the Sky” before smashing their own singles “Creeping Death” and “For Whom the Bell Tolls.” They concluded the performance with Black Sabbath’s “Johnny Blade,” “Battery” and “Master of Puppets.”
Black Sabbath’s final show at their home city marked a full-circle moment for the founding band members Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward, as it is their first time performing together in 20 years.

The official Metallica Instagram account shared a photo of James, 61, smoking a cigar in front of the Black Sabbath drum set on stage, leading their fans to rejoice over the artists in the comments section of the post.
“He is waiting patiently to be the next to sit on the throne of metal godfather !!! James is the king !!” someone wrote.
Meanwhile, Hollywood star Jason Momoa let his hair down and banged his head to the beat of the legendary songs in the crowd. The Aquaman actor shared videos via Instagram Stories as he fangirled in the wings of the stage.
“Jason Mamoa [sic] a real metalhead! Walked into the center of the pit to mosh with the crowd. Waiting for Tool, Metallica, then Ozzy!” a separate person wrote via X alongside a clip of Jason enjoying Pantera's set.
