In early August 2026, Sharon Osbourne confirmed that the Ozzfest metal festival would be revived in 2027, scheduling the event for Villa Park in Birmingham – the stadium that hosted Ozzy Osbourne’s final shows before his death. She addressed criticism of a planned AI avatar of the late Ozzy, saying it was created with his approval and would allow fans to interact with a virtual version of him.

A few days later, Osbourne added more detail, noting the festival could run for two nights depending on demand and that the revival might expand to North America, with a possible touring version in 2028. She hinted at veteran performers such as Rob Halford and suggested the Birmingham edition could serve as a springboard for further installments.

Together, the statements outline the planned return of Ozzfest, the venue, format considerations, and long‑term expansion ambitions.
