Ozzfest returns to UK in 2027 at Milton Keynes venue

Summarised from 3 outlets · Updated 5 Nov, 17:16 · Archive

Ozzfest will return to the UK on July 10, 2027, at The National Bowl in Milton Keynes, the first edition since Ozzy Osbourne's death. The festival was previously planned for Villa Park in Birmingham, where Black Sabbath played their final gig in July 2025.

Sharon Osbourne, who has curated the line-up, said the venue change was necessary due to continuing construction at Villa Park. 'Unfortunately, due to continuing construction, Villa Park won't be ready for any live shows this summer, so we had to relocate to Milton Keynes,' she said. She added that the choice was either to move Ozzfest or postpone it for another year.

The National Bowl hosted the festival previously in 1998 and 2001, including its first ever UK edition. Sharon Osbourne said Ozzy launched the first travelling metal festival, and Ozzfest will remain an important part of his legacy. The line-up will be revealed soon.

Andy Copping from Live Nation said it was a huge honour to work with Sharon and that he was thrilled to be working with her again on Ozzfest. 'We're so excited about the line-up we're putting together, and can't wait to share it with the fans,' he said.

Early 'bat' tickets go on sale on Friday, November 6 at 10am.
