SHARON Osbourne has revealed that Ozzy’s iconic Ozzfest gigs will continue following his tragic passing.
The festival featured an array of artists and was created by Ozzy and Sharon as a music festival tour specialising in rock and metal music.
It was an annual event which ran between 1996 and 2018 and was well known for featuring performances from Ozzy and his band, Black Sabbath.
Now, less than a year on from his sad passing, Sharon has revealed there are plans to revive the music festival tour in his legacy – beginning with a new run of shows in 2027.
Having held discussions with entertainment giant and touring company Live Nation, Sharon confirmed on her son Jack Osbourne‘s podcast that deals had been struck for brand new shows.
She said: “2027, it’s coming back – Aston Villa.
“We wanna do two days in Aston Villa and then come to America.
“We wanna hear from everyone about where we should go in America.”
She went on to add: “We gotta find a lot of young new talent because that is what your dad would want.”
Jack agreed, adding: “That is what Ozzfest was all about.
“That second stage is where so many guys came out of.”
Sharon appeared to be referring to Villa Park – the stadium of Ozzy’s beloved team Aston Villa in his native Birmingham.
He held his farewell concert there last summer – just weeks before he tragically passed away.
The news will be a welcome surprise for Ozzfest attendees and fans of metal and rock music.
Sharon and Ozzy recently honoured Ozzy at the Brit Awards where he won the Outstanding Contribution to Music award.
