Ozzfest Locks in Venue for 2027 Return
The groundbreaking fest will make its return at Birmingham, England's Villa Park. Ozzfest Locks in Venue for 2027 Return Spencer Kaufman
Ozzfest has announced that its 2027 event will be held at Birmingham, England's Villa Park. This venue previously hosted a special 2025 concert featuring Black Sabbath and Ozzy Osbourne's final performances. An official Instagram post shows an aerial view of Villa Park, with the caption "Ozzfest 2027 at @AstonVilla's Villa Park – more info on everything coming soon!"
The choice of Birmingham is significant as it's the hometown of the late Ozzy Osbourne and his bandmates from Black Sabbath. As of now, there is no specific date for the 2027 festival. In January, Sharon and Jack Osbourne confirmed the return of the event, which initially planned to start in England and then spread to America. No US venue has been announced yet.
The last Ozzfest was a one-time event on Christmas Day 2018 at the Forum in Los Angeles, headlined by Ozzy. Following the show, he faced several health issues that halted his farewell tour. Ozzfest began as a traveling festival in 1996, aiming to be a heavy alternative to Lollapalooza. Since then, it has played a crucial role in boosting the careers of numerous renowned bands such as System of a Down, Disturbed, and Deftones.
