Sharon Osbourne has confirmed that the plan is to bring Ozzfest back next year, and it will start in the birthplace of the man himself.

Ozzfest started in 1996 before expanding into a touring festival a year later, running through to 2018, championing the likes of Slipknot and System of a Down at the start of their careers.

Whilst speaking to her son Jack on the Osbournes’ podcast, Sharon Osbourne has now stated that the plan is to hold the festival over two days at Villa Park. The same venue where Black Sabbath’s Back To The Beginning concert took place, serving as Ozzy’s final live performance.

“We wanna do two days in Aston Villa and then come to America,” she explained. “Then we wanna hear from everyone where we should go in America. We’ve got to find a lot of young, new talent, because that’s what your dad would want”

The news follows a big week of celebrations honouring Ozzy’s life and legacy. He was awarded the Lifetime Achievement Award at the BRIT Awards this past weekend, where Sharon exclaimed, “There will never be another Ozzy fucking Osbourne” during the acceptance speech.

A special performance of ‘No More Tears’ followed, delivered by Robbie Williams, Adam Wakeman, Robert Trujillo, Tommy Clufetos and Zakk Wylde.
