Black Sabbath Weekend in Camden: The Ultimate Tribute Marathon
This Saturday, Black Sabbath – the godfathers of heavy music take their final bow at Villa Park in Birmingham. For many of us, it’s the end of an era we never wanted to see close. But while the farewell show might be miles away and impossible to get into (sold out under 15 minutes), Camden is keeping the Sabbath spirit alive with a three-day celebration of epic proportions!
If you didn’t get these holy grail tickets to the main event, Camden’s bars and venues have your back with tribute shows, livestreams, and enough doom, stoner, and classic metal to blow the roof off North London. Join these epic 3 events for this weekend’s sabbath bloody sabbath marathon!
🔥 BLACK SABBATH WEEKEND MARATHON IN CAMDEN
Friday, July 4 – FREE ENTRY
🎸 BACK STABBATH x 6TH.BLUE.AVENUE
📍 The World’s End, Camden Town
Event Info + Free Tickets
Start your weekend right with Back Stabbath, who’ll be channeling Sabbath’s early thunder with full-force tribute riffs, supported by 6th.Blue.Avenue – a blues-rock outfit paying homage to the genre’s greats while bringing their own originals.
in true rock’n’roll spirit, a tight-knit crew of longtime friends – Sam Rhodes, James Wilde, Scott Perry, and Simon Fitzpatrick (bassist for Carl Palmer of ELP) – decided to fire up something special for the rest of us. They’ve put together a two-day blowout in honour of Sabbath, packed with killer tribute bands and heavy-hitting covers from the legends who once shared their stages – all at a price that keeps it real for the fans. It’s loud, it’s heartfelt, and it’s everything a proper send-off should be.
Free entry. All ages 14+ (U16s accompanied by an adult).
Doors open early, so get down and grab a spot.

CAMDEN & BLACK SABBATH: A REAL CONNECTION
Did you know Black Sabbath’s official debut under their iconic name happened right here in Camden? On March 9th, 1970, they played The Roundhouse – one of the most important venues in British rock history.
Before they were Black Sabbath, they were Polka Tulk. That Roundhouse show changed everything.
Camden isn’t just celebrating Sabbath. It helped birth them!
