Sharon Osbourne recently confirmed that Ozzfest will go on sale in November while keeping the festival’s location under wraps. She addressed the topic during a discussion shared on The Osbournes.
The conversation took place during their new video on the Osbournes YouTube channel. Jack and Sharon Osbourne discussed the return of the iconic metal festival. When Jack Osbourne asked about the festival’s status and timeline, Sharon provided some concrete details while maintaining secrecy around one key element.
“Yeah, we’re going to go on sale in November,” Sharon Osbourne said when asked about Ozzfest’s progress.
However, when Jack Osbourne pressed further about revealing the location, Sharon chose to maintain the mystery for now.
“No, let’s hold out. Let’s hold out,” she responded when asked if they were allowed to announce where the festival would take place.
The exchange confirms that Ozzfest is moving forward with concrete plans. Fans will have to wait a bit longer to learn where the festival will be held.
This announcement builds on Sharon’s ongoing efforts to revive the legendary festival that has been a cornerstone of the metal music scene for decades.
Wikipedia reports that Ozzfest was founded by Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne in 1996. It has become one of the most influential metal festivals in music history. The festival has featured countless legendary acts and helped launch the careers of numerous metal bands over its nearly three-decade run.
Earlier this year, Sharon had already hinted at the festival’s return during various media appearances. Wikipedia noted that Sharon told Billboard in early 2026 that she had been negotiating with Live Nation Entertainment regarding the festival’s return as early as 2027. These negotiations appear to have progressed significantly since then, leading to the current November ticket sale announcement.
The timing of this announcement comes as the metal festival landscape continues to evolve. Metal Injection reported that Ozzfest did not happen in 2026. The publication noted that it barely happened in 2025, featuring only a handful of dates in major cities. This makes the upcoming return even more significant for metal fans who have been eagerly awaiting the festival’s full revival.
Despite Ozzy Osbourne’s retirement from touring, the festival will continue under Sharon’s guidance. Metal Injection stated that Ozzfest will return in 2027 as a legendary metal festival set to rise again. It will blend new talent with classic heavy music spirit under Sharon’s leadership. This ensures that the Ozzfest legacy will continue even as Ozzy steps back from active touring.
