Join BBC Radio WM, B: Music and Home of Metal, along with three live acts representing the future of heavy music in the UK, at a special BBC celebration of the influence of Black Sabbath in Birmingham this summer.

Rising stars Cherrydead, Gans, and Meatdripper, who all hail from across the West Midlands, will light up the stage at the historic Town Hall. Spanning sludge, stoner, doom, nu metal and drawing on hardcore, punk, hard rock and other ends of the heavy music spectrum, the three acts - including two all-women line-ups - will chart the cutting edge of what is now a global music genre.

Black Sabbath played multiple shows at the Grade I listed Town Hall in Birmingham, on Friday 8 January 1971 and Monday 24 January 1972.

These monumental moments in music history, plus frontman Ozzy Osbourne choosing the venue for an intimate show for fans on Saturday 26 June 2010, make it the perfect place to host this one-off evening.

The night also promises film screenings, an industry panel discussion, and DJ sets - all exploring heavy music in the UK and the role that the ‘Masters of Reality’ stars continue to have on global metal culture and community.

Secure your ticket now for this once in a generation moment to celebrate one of the world’s biggest bands, featuring a new generation of metalheads flying the flag for a sound, born right here in Birmingham.
