Black Sabbath

In June 2005, Black Sabbath performed at the Download Festival in Donington, UK, marking a significant moment in the band's legacy as they returned to a festival closely associated with their impact on the heavy metal genre. At this point in their career, Black Sabbath had just released their live album "Live in Hyde Park" in 2005 and were also celebrating the 35th anniversary of their debut album. This concert, part of Ozzfest, showcased the band’s enduring popularity and influence, with a setlist that included classics like "War Pigs" and "N.I.B." The performance drew on their extensive catalog and featured founding members Ozzy Osbourne, Tony Iommi, and Geezer Butler, highlighting their chemistry and the strength of their live shows even decades after their formation in 1968. Additionally, the concert included elaborate stage setups that exemplified the band’s commitment to delivering memorable live experiences.
