During a recent appearance on SiriusXM’s Page Six Radio, Jack Osbourne discussed the 2027 Ozzfest. That event will take place at Villa Park in Birmingham, England and the headliner is expected to be revealed “in the next couple of weeks.”
Jack said the following:
“It’s been interesting, ’cause it’s kind of like finding the old car in the shop and being, like, ‘All right, let’s get this engine going.’ But it’s cool. There’s a lot of excitement around it. And we’re gonna announce pretty soon — I think in the next couple of weeks we’re gonna announce kind of who the main headliner is and where we’re doing it. So it’s been nice.”
He also added:
“[It’s] not gonna be a multi-day thing. We’re gonna kind of stick to our roots of… We did a couple of two-day Ozzfests years ago, but it’s just gonna be one day.”
He continued when asked if he has fun serving as a curator for next year’s Ozzfest:
“I do. It’s just really difficult now. It’s really difficult to kind of, like, ‘All right, who’s doing what?’ ‘Cause a lot of huge bands now are doing their own festivals, they’re doing their own thing, so it’s, like, ‘All right, who’s not got their own festival? Who’s available? Who’s reasonably priced?’ Because with all these huge festivals, artists are, like, ‘Yeah, I’ll do it for, like, 10 million dollars.’ You’re, like, ‘Eh.’”
He also confirmed that he looks for artists who had a connection to Ozzy Osbourne:
“100%. Yeah, yeah. And there’s a lot of the huge artists now in the genre, they all kind of were on Ozzfest at a certain point. We had everyone from Marilyn Manson, Rob Zombie, Disturbed, Slipknot. I mean, they all kind of came up… Well, not Rob Zombie and Manson, but Disturbed and Slipknot and System Of A Down.”
He went on to say that the event will continue to showcase new artists:
“Yeah, that’s still gonna be a big part of the lineup, is new artists. And we’re gonna probably have a spot for at least one unsigned artist.”

Showing Teeth have premiered a new video for their latest single “Bad Exchanges.” That track is from the band’s new EP, “A Fate Worse Than Loneliness,” which will be released on September 4.
Down (Pantera, Crowbar, etc.) will be releasing a new album, titled “Volume V,” on November 20. The effort is currently available for pre-order HERE.
“Volume V” Track Listing:
01. “The Myth
02. “Merciful Fate” (feat. King Diamond)
03. “Turn Out the Light”
04. “The Message”
05. “Causeway Grief”
06. “Blood Oath”
07. “They Walk The Night”
08. “They Came From Dust”
09. “Ozz”
10. “Twice-Told Tales”
Members of the group commented on the album:
Phil Anselmo:
“We were all excited about this. There was a sense of lightness in the air. Everyone’s attitude was positive. There was more focus than ever. It just felt fresh again. Each one of us was individually striving for something, and I believe we achieved what we wanted to achieve. The record is a journey. It’s classic Down, but it’s also unique.”
Kirk Windstein:
“Everybody played their asses off, wrote great riffs, and Philip is singing amazing. There’s so much electricity when we get together. To me, it’s the same vibe as our debut NOLA, but we’ve got another 35 years of experience as songwriters.”
Pepper Keenan:
“The five of us are from the same era, grew up together, and accomplished a lot on our own. We all sounded different, but we’re still from the same 20-block radius. As far as what makes Down special, we knew one another before any of us had done anything. There’s history.”
A new video for the first single, “Blood Oath,” can be found below. Anselmo also commented on that track:
“Anybody who’s from New Orleans is going to get a kick out of the references to the city. Musically, it’s got a big hook. It’s a Down song, but it takes a turn.”
Keenan added:
“You’ll know it’s own right off the fucking bat. It’s heavy in its attack.”
