Ozzfest, the legendary touring festival founded by Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne, will return to the UK in summer 2027.

The one-day rock extravaganza takes place at The National Bowl in Milton Keynes on Saturday 10th July 2027.

Aston Villa’s stadium Villa Park, home of Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath’s Back to the Beginning concert in July 2025, can no longer host as previously announced due to construction work.

Previously held at The National Bowl in 1998 and 2001, including its first-ever UK edition, Ozzfest’s line-up, curated by Sharon Osbourne, will be revealed soon.

Early Bat tickets go on sale from Planet Rock Tickets at 10am on Friday 6th November.

Following the UK date, Ozzfest will return to Glen Helen Amphitheater in San Bernardino, California on Saturday 11th September, 31 years on from the inaugural event which was held there.

Ozzfest then hits Mexico City’s Estadio GNP Seguros on Friday 18th September for an eagerly anticipated Mexican edition.

Sharon Osbourne said: "Ozzy was the first to launch his own traveling metal festival, and Ozzfest will always remain an important part of Ozzy’s legacy.”

“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.”

Live Nation's Andy Copping added: “It was a huge honour to work with Sharon on Back to the Beginning, so 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.”
