Ozzfest is coming home. The iconic touring festival launched by Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne will return to The National Bowl in Milton Keynes on Saturday 10 July 2027, its spiritual UK home and the site of its very first British edition in 1998.
The return arrives off the back of the 30th anniversary of the first Ozzfest in 1996, and it will be the first edition since the passing of the late, great Ozzy Osbourne following his historic farewell concert, Back to the Beginning, in 2025.
The line-up is being curated by Sharon Osbourne herself and will be revealed soon.
“Ozzy was the first to launch his own traveling metal festival, and Ozzfest will always remain an important part of Ozzy’s legacy,” said Sharon. She also explained the choice of venue: “Unfortunately, due to continuing construction, Villa Park won’t be ready for any live shows this summer, so we had to relocate to Milton Keynes. The choice was to move Ozzfest or postpone it for another year.”
Promoter Andy Copping, who worked alongside Sharon on Back to the Beginning, added: “I’m thrilled to be working with her again on Ozzfest and bringing it back to the UK, back to the National Bowl where it all got started. We’re so excited about the lineup we’re putting together, and can’t wait to share it with the fans.”
Ozzfest will also return to the US on Saturday 11 September 2027 at Glen Helen Amphitheater in San Bernardino, where it all began in 1996. A week later, on Saturday 18 September, it heads to Mexico City for its first ever edition there, at Estadio GNP Seguros.
Early Bat tickets went on sale on Friday 6 November.
We can’t wait to see who Sharon lines up to carry Ozzy’s flame. Whoever it is, Milton Keynes is going to be loud.
