Ozzfest confirms 2027 return to the UK and US

The heavy metal festival Ozzfest has officially confirmed its return in 2027, with scheduled events in both the United Kingdom and the United States. This marks the festival's first appearance in the U.S. since a special New Year’s Eve event in 2018.

In the United Kingdom, the festival is set to take place at Villa Park in Birmingham. This venue holds historical significance for the brand, as it hosted the ‘Back to the Beginning’ concert in July 2025, which served as the final live performance for Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath before Osbourne's death.

Sharon Osbourne, who founded the festival alongside her late husband, has been leading the revival efforts. Organizers have indicated that the 2027 editions will continue the tradition of showcasing emerging talent. While specific dates, venues for the U.S. leg, and full lineups have not yet been released, Jack Osbourne noted that a main headliner has already been selected.
