US EditionSharon Osbourne in Talks to Bring OzzFest Back
Sharon Osbourne plans a 2027 Ozzfest revival focusing on new talent and diverse genres, alongside a classical Black Sabbath tour featuring local orchestras, she told Billboard.
- Sharon Osbourne is considering bringing Ozzfest back and has discussed the revival with Live Nation, saying the festival could launch as soon as 2027.
- Driven by Ozzy Osbourne's passion, Ozzfest launched North American metal festivals and gave young talent large stages, becoming a sorely missed platform for emerging bands.
- Sharon confirmed a new classical tour that will feature Black Sabbath with local orchestras and visuals after last year's Villa Park, Birmingham show before Ozzy Osbourne's death.
- More details are expected later, with Sharon Osbourne saying Ozzfest will continue prioritising smaller/emerging bands as it always has.
- However, managers' demands remain an obstacle, as Sharon Osbourne said one act refused to perform without $10,000 more, and she cited manager 'greed' on The Osbournes podcast in January 2024.
