OzzFest is set to return in 2027 - but it won't be in Ozzy Osbourne's home city

OzzFest will return on July 10, 2027.

OzzFest has been confirmed to return in 2027 - but it won’t be in Ozzy Osbourne’s home city.

The Black Sabbath frontman’s widow and former manager confirmed OzzFest – which hosted its first edition in 1996 – would “absolutely” be returning earlier this year.

She also originally stated it would be at Villa Park - the venue of Ozzy Osbourne’s final performance Back to the Beginning on July 5, 2025. Ozzy passed away on July 22, 2025, aged 76, just 17 days later.

But now, it seems plans have changed due to continuing construction and a date and stage has been set.

The show will be at The National Bowl, Milton Keynes on Saturday, July 10.

It will also return to the US and make its debut in Mexico as part of a three-date international run celebrating the festival's legacy, said the announcement which followed the 30th anniversary of the festival's launch.

Sharon will curate the line-up for the 2027 edition, with the first artists expected to be announced soon.
