US EditionSharon Osbourne Plans to Revive Ozzfest in 2027 with Artists From Different Genres
Sharon Osbourne plans a 2027 revival of Ozzfest to spotlight emerging bands and is partnering with Live Nation for a classical Black Sabbath tour featuring local orchestras.
- Recently, Sharon Osbourne said she is considering bringing Ozzfest back, suggesting the festival might return as soon as 2027 to continue its 1990s legacy.
- Rising fees and cost concerns ultimately forced Ozzfest to stop, with managers and agents demanding more pay and one act refusing to perform until paid $10,000 more, Osbourne said.
- Prioritising new artists, Osbourne plans a revived Ozzfest emphasising multiple genres and continuing its platform for smaller bands, unlike the strictly metal focus 20 years ago.
- Given Ozzy's death on July 22, 2024, at 76, the revival gains emotional depth; more details on the classical tour and Ozzfest return will be released later.
- Alongside festival talks, Osbourne is working with Live Nation to develop a classical Black Sabbath tour pairing local orchestras with state‑of‑the‑art visuals.
