Sharon Osbourne Confirms That Ozzfest Will Be Resurrected In Ozzy’s Home Town of Birmingham in 2027 Before Coming to North America

"We wanna do two days in Aston Villa," the late metal icon's wife/manager said on the family's podcast this week.

Sharon Osbourne has revealed more about her plans to resurrect Ozzfest. On the new episode of The Osbournes podcast on Wednesday (March 4), Sharon sat down to offer the first concrete details about the return of the heavy metal festival that has been on hiatus since 2018.

“Ozzfest! Coming back!” Sharon said, just days after first lighting the fuse for the news at the 2026 MIDEM conference in Cannes, France, where she announced “yes, absolutely. Yeah, we’re gonna do it.” She told Jack that the plan is to reboot the festival in 2027, launching it with a two-day event at Villa Park, the home grounds of the Aston Villa Football Club in Ozzy Osbourne‘s hometown of Birmingham, U.K.; that sacred ground was also the site of Osbourne’s final show, the all-star Back to the Beginning blowout last July.
