The legendary Ozzfest is officially set to return in 2027, taking place in Birmingham, England. The announcement was confirmed via the festival’s official social media channels, marking the resurrection of the event that defined the metal scene in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
The festival will be held at Villa Park, the home stadium of Aston Villa FC. This location holds significant historical weight for fans, as it served as the site for the „Back To The Beginning” concert on July 5, 2025. That event was the final live performance for both Black Sabbath and Ozzy Osbourne.
Sharon Osbourne and Jack Osbourne have discussed the 2027 plans, noting that the event requires two years of advance planning. Sharon Osbourne expressed her desire to hold two days at Villa Park before bringing the festival back to America. The organizers are currently seeking input from fans regarding which cities the tour should visit in the United States.
A key focus for the resurrected Ozzfest will be the promotion of new talent. Jack Osbourne highlighted the importance of the festival’s second stage, which historically served as an incubator for emerging metal acts. More specific details regarding the full lineup and ticket availability are expected to be released soon.
