Metalheads, get ready. Ozzfest is officially coming back — and the first stop is going to be incredibly meaningful.

After months of speculation, the resurrected Ozzfest has officially confirmed that its 2027 return will hit Villa Park in Birmingham, England, the hometown of Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath.

The announcement comes after Sharon Osbourne previously revealed plans to bring Ozzfest back next year. While the exact date and lineup have not been announced yet, the festival's social media accounts have now made the Birmingham return official.

And there couldn't be a more fitting location.

Villa Park was the site of "Back To The Beginning" in July 2025, the massive all-star concert that served as the final live celebration of Black Sabbath and Ozzy Osbourne. It was also Ozzy's final live performance.

Just over two weeks after that historic show, Ozzy passed away at the age of 76.

Now, Ozzfest is returning to the same stadium where the Prince of Darkness took his final bow.

Ozzy and his Black Sabbath bandmates originally came from Birmingham, making the city a crucial part of heavy metal history.

So bringing Ozzfest back to Birmingham isn't simply another festival announcement. It's a celebration of the music, the city and the legacy of the man who helped change heavy metal forever.

Sharon Osbourne has also previously indicated that conversations with potential artists have already been happening, meaning the lineup could be shaping up behind the scenes.

And Birmingham may only be the beginning.

Sharon has suggested that the 2027 revival will include North American dates, with plans reportedly calling for a two-day event in the U.S. following the Birmingham shows.

That means American metal fans could soon get their own Ozzfest comeback.

For fans who remember the original festival, that is huge news.

Ozzfest became one of the defining touring metal festivals of the late '90s and 2000s, introducing generations of fans to some of the biggest names in heavy music.

Now, after years away, the Ozzfest name is officially back.

The only question left is:

WHO'S GOING TO BE ON THAT BILL?

With no lineup announced yet, the speculation is already going to be wild. Will we see some of the legendary bands that helped make Ozzfest famous? Newer metal heavyweights? Or a combination of both?

Whatever happens, one thing is certain:

Ozzfest is coming back — and it's going home to Birmingham first.

And when those stage lights come on at Villa Park in 2027, it will be impossible not to think about the man whose music made all of this possible.

Long live Ozzy. Long live Black Sabbath. And welcome back, Ozzfest. 

We talked life, loyalty, and what it really takes to survive in the music industry. Zakk keeps it simple: play what you love and go all in. No shortcuts, no chasing trends — just grind. He opens up about the challenges young musicians face today, and how different things are compared to the early days with Ozzy Osbourne and that era of rock.

We also got into Black Label Society's latest, Engines of Demolition, plus the story behind Ozzy's tribute song honoring the late Prince of Darkness — a full-circle moment from a career built on brotherhood and riffs.

And that brotherhood? The Black Label Society "chapter" — the family — came from humble beginnings and still reflects the neighborhood roots Zakk came up in.

Take a tour of rock royalty living—because Ozzy Osbourne and Sharon Osbourne's legendary L.A. home just hit the market… and yeah, it'll only set you back $17 million.

The Hancock Park estate—Ozzy's last home in Los Angeles—is back up for grabs after originally listing in 2022. Sitting just a couple miles south of Hollywood, this place is straight-up classic luxury with serious rock history baked in.

We're talking:

• 7 bedrooms, 11 bathrooms
• A full chef's kitchen, breakfast room, formal dining room
• Wood-paneled library, home office, and a private screening room
• Outdoor setup with a pizza oven, BBQ area, gardens, and a pool lined with hand-laid mosaic tiles

The home dates back to 1929, and the whole neighborhood—Hancock Park—has that old-school Hollywood vibe. It's actually part of a historic preservation zone, so everything stays true to that 1920s aesthetic. Basically, you're living in a time capsule… just with better WiFi.

And the neighbors? Not exactly low-key. Over the years, the area's been home to icons like Muhammad Ali, Antonio Banderas, Nat King Cole, Melanie Griffith, Jake Gyllenhaal, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Howard Hughes, and Lou Rawls.

Oh—and inside? There's even a Warhol-style pop art portrait of Ozzy hanging in the dining room. Casual.

If you've got $17 mil and a love for rock history… this isn't just a house—it's a backstage pass to one of the most iconic lives in music.

The house is available via Carolwood Estates.
