Ozzfest announces details of UK return for 2027 at Milton Keynes Bowl

Ozzy Osbourne‘s widow and manager, Sharon, first shared plans to revive the legendary live event earlier this year. She said Ozzfest – which hosted its first edition in 1996 – would “absolutely” return with the former Black Sabbath frontman’s blessing.

1. Meet Solana, the technicolour ‘YoruPop’ star trailblazing her own sound.
2. Do Nothing’s new album is Chris Bailey’s ultimate act of service: “A song will tell you what it wants to be, and it’s not your place to get in the way of that”.

Ozzfest is set to officially return to Milton Keynes Bowl for its 2027 edition.

Now it has been confirmed that it will be returning to its spiritual home on Saturday, July 10.

Será a primeira desde a morte de Osbourne e seu concerto de despedida no Villa Park, ‘Back To The Beginning’, apenas semanas antes de sua morte, aos 76 anos, no verão de 2025, e a primeira desde 2018.

Tickets will go on sale from 10am tomorrow (November 6) and can be purchased here.

Sharon Osbourne previously said that next year’s instalment would take place at Birmingham’s Villa Park.

Mas, devido à construção contínua, será realizado em Milton Keynes em vez disso.

Producer/manager 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 at Ozzfest and and bringing it back to the UK, back to the National Bowl where it all got started.

Estamos muito empolgados com a formação que estamos montando e não vemos a hora de compartilhá‑la com os fãs.

It was previously announced that the event is also returning to the US next year. Now, it has been confirmed that bash will take place at Glen Helen Amphitheater in San Bernardino on September 11.

The first Mexico edition of Ozzfest will also be staged in Mexico City on September 18 at Estadio GNP Seguros.

Ozzfest was first held in 1996 and became one of the defining touring metal festivals of the late ’90s and 2000s, giving major early exposure to bands including Slipknot, System Of A Down and Disturbed.

Sua última edição até agora aconteceu no The Forum, em Inglewood, Califórnia, na véspera de Ano Novo de 2018, com um lineup que contou com Rob Zombie, Marilyn Manson, DevilDriver e Ozzy em pessoa.

Sharon já explicou que o evento original chegou ao fim porque as crescentes exigências de gerentes e agentes acabaram por torná-lo financeiramente insustentável.

More recently the venue has seen the likes of Yungblud stage his own festival BludFest in 2024 and earlier this summer The Prodigy also performed there.
