During a recent interview with Billboard, Ozzy Osbourne’s widow and longtime manager Sharon Osbourne revealed that she is planning to resurrect Ozzfest. The event may return as early as 2027.
Sharon said the following:
“All of the creative direction for visuals at Ozzfest was mine. I can’t sing a note — I’m tone-deaf — but I can be creative, and I like to create things.”
She added:
“I’ve been talking to Live Nation about bringing [Ozzfest] back recently. It was something Ozzy was very passionate about: giving young talent a stage in front of a lot of people. We really started metal festivals in this country. It was [replicated but] never done with the spirit of what ours was, because ours was a place for new talent. It was like summer camp for kids.”
She went on to say that she would also “like to mix up the genres.” Further details are pending.
In other news, Sharon and Live Nation are also working on a classical tour featuring Black Sabbath songs performed by local orchestras. Those events will include live music and state-of-the-art visuals.
