"We wanna do two days in Aston Villa [in Birmingham] and then come to America. And we wanna hear from everyone where we should go in America. And also we've gotta find a lot of young, new talent, because that's what [Ozzy] would want. That's what Ozzfest was all about. That second stage, that was the incubator - that's where so many [bands] came out of."
"It was more fun. When you go to other festivals, everybody's so uptight. But that was always the thing about our festival. There was never anybody jockeying for position or thought they were better than anyone else. It was a summer camp."
"So, Ozzfest 2027, there'll be two days at [Aston] Villa, and then two days in North America somewhere. Yeah, and then we'll see how it does. And then if people want it, we'll be there [in the] following years."
Ozzfest is being relaunched in 2027 with a two-day inaugural event at Aston Villa in Birmingham, England, Ozzy Osbourne's hometown, followed by expansion to North America. Sharon and Jack Osbourne announced the plans on The Osbournes podcast, emphasizing the festival's commitment to discovering young, emerging talent through a second stage, mirroring the original festival's role as an incubator for new bands. The Osbournes are seeking fan input on North American locations. While 2027 will feature fixed locations, the festival may transition to a traveling format beginning in 2028. Sharon highlighted Ozzfest's unique community atmosphere, distinguishing it from other festivals by fostering inclusivity rather than competition among artists.
