OzzFest Confirmed for 2027 Return in Villa Park
18 Aug
Summary
- OzzFest will return in 2027 at Villa Park, Birmingham.
- The stadium hosted Ozzy Osbourne's farewell show in July 2025.
- Sharon Osbourne is reviving the festival Ozzy was passionate about.
OzzFest, the renowned rock and metal festival, has been confirmed for a comeback in 2027. The event will be held at Villa Park in Birmingham, a stadium holding significant meaning as the site of Ozzy Osbourne's farewell concert, 'Back to the Beginning,' which occurred in July 2025.
Co-created by Sharon Osbourne in 1996, OzzFest became a major platform for rock and metal artists, touring extensively across the U.S. and Europe until 2008, with sporadic appearances thereafter. Sharon Osbourne has expressed a strong desire to bring the festival back, fulfilling Ozzy's vision of supporting emerging talent.
Villa Park is particularly relevant as Ozzy Osbourne, a Birmingham native and co-founder of Black Sabbath, grew up in the Aston area. The 'Back to the Beginning' charity concert in July 2025 marked the final live performances for both Ozzy and Black Sabbath, featuring tribute acts.
