Big News from The Osbournes Podcast
Sharon and Jack Osbourne recently dropped major updates about Ozzfest’s comeback on The Osbournes podcast. They confirmed the iconic metal festival will return in 2027 with a fresh plan that mixes tradition with new surprises.
First Stop: Birmingham, England
The 2027 edition will launch with a two-day event at Aston Villa in Birmingham—Ozzy Osbourne’s hometown. This kickoff is a nod to the festival’s roots before it heads overseas.
Next Up: The United States
After England, Ozzfest will land in North America for another two-day event. But the exact location? Sharon and Jack are leaving it up to fans! They’re asking everyone to suggest cities across the US where the festival should rock.
Scouting for Rising Stars
True to Ozzfest’s legacy, the Osbournes are hunting for new, young talent. Jack highlighted that the festival’s second stage was always a launchpad for breakout bands, and they want to keep that incubator spirit alive in 2027.
Not a Tour—Yet
For 2027, Ozzfest won’t be traveling between cities; it’ll be a standalone event in fixed spots. However, Sharon teased that if the 2027 shows go well, Ozzfest could become a touring festival again starting in 2028.
Why Ozzfest Was Special
Sharon reminisced about the festival’s unique vibe, saying it was always more fun and relaxed than other fests. “It was a summer camp” with no drama or egos—just a community of metal fans enjoying the music together.
Hints at Big Names
She also mentioned she’d love to see Rob Halford perform, sparking speculation that Judas Priest might join the lineup. This could mean some epic collaborations on stage.
How to Get Involved
This news follows recent confirmations on Ozzfest’s social media. Fans are already hyped, and the Osbournes are actively listening to where the festival should go next in America. Keep an eye on their channels for updates and ways to share your city picks.
