Eight years after the last festival, Ozzfest is officially returning in 2027. However, as plans for the highly anticipated event roll out, fans are raising concerns over one major issue.
In a post shared by Ozzfest’s official Instagram, the festival announced that the legendary metal festival will take place at Aston Villa’s Villa Park.
Moreover, the post teased fans that “more info on everything [is] coming soon!” with details about the Ozzfest 2027 dates and lineup still to be announced.
Meanwhile, the update sparked excitement as fans looked forward to the event, with some speculating about the bands participating in the much-anticipated event.
“OG Black Sabbath with guest vocalists would be great,” one wrote.

However, amid the anticipation and renewed excitement from fans, others expressed concern about the show’s venue.
With the stadium having a capacity of 42,000 according to Billboard, others think that this might be “too small” for the event, especially since this will be a special occasion given that Ozzfest 2027 will be the first festival since Ozzy Osbourne’s death.
View this post on Instagram“Too small, can’t it be in a field somewhere, like Donington?? Tickets will sell out so fast, so many people will miss out, just like Ozzy’s last gig,” one wrote.
“Needs a bigger venue, go back to Milton Keynes Bowl,” a commenter said.
“Should do it in a bigger venue so people don’t miss out,” a fan echoed.
The same goes for another fan who recommended two possible locations, saying “Knebworth or MK Bowl would have been better venues.”
“What a terrible venue. Back to the beginning was so good, but the venue itself was shocking. Literally 90-minute queues for a beer. Do it elsewhere,” a follower said.
The late Ozzy Osbourne’s wife Sharon Osbourne and their daughter Kelly Osbourne are spearheading the revival of Ozzfest for 2027.
In a previous interview with Billboard, the 73-year-old widow spoke about how important Ozzfest was to her late husband.
“It was something Ozzy was very passionate about: giving young talent a stage in front of a lot of people,” she said. “We really started metal festivals in this country. It was [replicated but] never done with the spirit of what ours was, because ours was a place for new talent. It was like summer camp for kids.”
As for the location, the place was deeply personal for the late music icon as this was the location of Black Sabbath and Ozzy Osbourne’s 2025 farewell show, Back to the Beginning.
Moreover, growing up in Aston, Birmingham, directly fueled the Prince of Darkness’ lifelong passion for the football club, making him a devoted fan of Aston Villa F.C.
