Ozzfest Confirms a U.S. Return in 2027

Ozzfest will return to the United States in 2027, giving the influential heavy-metal festival its first stateside edition in nearly a decade. Organizers confirmed the plan through the festival’s official social channels, pairing the U.S. announcement with its previously disclosed comeback in the United Kingdom.

Two countries are now on the 2027 plan

The teaser says Ozzfest will come to both the U.K. and the U.S., but the American location, date and lineup have not yet been announced. Organizers promised more information and asked fans where they hope the festival will appear, leaving the domestic edition open while confirming that it is moving forward.

The British event has a more defined home: Villa Park in Birmingham, England, the city where Ozzy Osbourne was born and where he played his final concert. The return therefore connects the festival’s next chapter to the artist and family who built it, even as details about performers remain under wraps.

Jack Osbourne has said the revived festival will stay with a one-day format rather than expand into a multi-day event. He has also described the booking process as a challenge in an era when many major acts operate their own destination festivals and command higher appearance fees.

A major metal platform comes back

Founded by Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne in the mid-1990s, Ozzfest became a major touring platform for heavy music. Across its run, it helped introduce larger audiences to acts including System of a Down and Disturbed while placing established headliners and developing bands on the same bill.

The festival’s last U.S. edition was a one-day New Year’s Eve event in Inglewood, California, in 2018. That long gap makes the 2027 announcement significant even without a city or lineup: it shifts the comeback from family discussions and public hints into a confirmed two-country plan.

For now, fans have a destination year rather than a complete itinerary. The unanswered questions—venue, headliner, supporting bill and ticket timeline—will determine whether the revived Ozzfest can translate its history into a modern festival event.
