Ozzfest Set for 2027 U.S. Comeback
Ozzfest officially announced its return to the United States in 2027, marking its first stateside event in nearly a decade. The festival’s social media confirmed the UK and US return on September 21.
Ozzfest will be back stateside in 2027 for the first time in nearly a decade.
The festival’s social media channels posted “Ozzfest will come to the UK and US” Sept. 21 with promises that more information would be forthcoming.
Ozzfest was last held in 2018 at the Kia Forum in Inglewood, California. The long-running festival was started in 1996 by Sharon Osbourne after being rebuffed at an effort to get Ozzy as a headliner on Lollapalooza. Beginning as a one- or two-day festival, it later evolved into a touring festival that launched the careers of numerous metal, hardcore and other hard music acts.
Following Ozzy’s death last year — and the success of the “Back to the Beginning” concert at Villa Park in Birmingham, Sharon and son Jack Osbourne began hinting at the return of the festival in both the UK and US. It was later confirmed the UK edition would be staged at Villa Park.
