Ozzfest will return in 2027 with three standalone dates in the United Kingdom, United States and Mexico. The festival begins at the National Bowl in Milton Keynes on July 10, moves to Glen Helen Amphitheater in San Bernardino on September 11, and reaches Estadio GNP Seguros in Mexico City on September 18. The Mexico City stop is billed as the first Ozzfest edition in the country, while the California show returns the event to the region where it began in 1996.
The new run is the first Ozzfest since the 2018 New Year’s Eve edition at the Forum in Los Angeles and the first announced after Ozzy Osbourne’s death and 2025 farewell concert. Sharon Osbourne will curate the lineups, which remain unannounced. That leaves the musical bill open, but the official statement frames the three events as a continuation of the festival’s original purpose: giving hard-rock and metal artists a large shared platform under the Ozzfest name.
Early-bird tickets go on sale locally on November 6, with ticket links available for all three markets. For guitar audiences, the return revives one of metal’s most influential festival brands rather than merely licensing its name for a retrospective. The 2027 poster used by the organizers lists all three cities and dates, so the visual asset is specific to the newly announced edition.
Why it matters
Ozzfest shaped the modern touring-metal circuit, and its first Mexico date plus returns to its UK and California anchors create a major new platform for guitar-heavy lineups.
