Sharon Osbourne in Talks to Revive Ozzfest With Live Nation, Targeting 2027

Talks remain preliminary, with budget pressures plus talent‑fee demands the main obstacles.

Overview

  • Osbourne said she has recently discussed an Ozzfest return with promoter Live Nation, characterizing the effort as exploratory rather than finalized.
  • She suggested the festival could be back as soon as 2027, with no lineup, routing or venues announced yet.
  • A reboot would broaden beyond strictly metal, while preserving a small “baby stage” to spotlight emerging acts.
  • Separately, Osbourne is developing a classical tour of Black Sabbath’s catalog performed by local orchestras with state‑of‑the‑art visuals, also in partnership with Live Nation.
  • She is pursuing a scripted feature about a portion of Ozzy Osbourne’s life, positioning these projects as complementary tributes while Ozzfest revival plans confront the cost and booking hurdles that previously curtailed the tour.
