The iconic metal festival Ozzfest will officially return in 2027, according to Sharon Osbourne, manager and widow of Ozzy Osbourne, who revealed new details during an appearance on the The Osbournes Podcast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The festival is set to begin with a two-day event at Villa Park in Birmingham, Ozzy\u2019s hometown, before eventually expanding to the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Speaking with her son Jack Osbourne, Sharon explained:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ozzfest first launched in 1996 as a two-day festival before expanding into a touring event the following year. Over the decades, it became one of the most influential metal festivals in the world, hosting acts such as Rob Zombie, Marilyn Manson, DevilDriver, and of course Ozzy himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sharon clarified that the 2027 edition will not initially be a touring festival, though that could change depending on fan response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\u201cSee how it does, and if people want it, we\u2019ll be there. If it goes well, it might become a tour again in 2028.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
During the conversation, the possibility of expanding Ozzfest internationally was also discussed, including the idea of bringing the festival to India, where rock and metal audiences have grown significantly in recent years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Reflecting on what made Ozzfest unique, Sharon said:Reflecting on what made Ozzfest unique, Sharon said:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
