Sharon Osbourne is in talks about bringing back Ozzfest, the travelling heavy metal festival which she founded 30 years ago. “It was something Ozzy was very passionate about: giving young talent a stage in front of a lot of people,” she says. It was like summer camp for kids.”Sharon started Ozzfest in 1996, after fellow travelling festival Lollapalooza refused to give Ozzy a spot on their lineup. Such acts as Slipknot, Limp Bizkit and System Of A Down all performed on the festival tour either around or shortly after the release of their debut albums. In 2023, Sharon explained why Ozzfest went away, saying on her family podcast The Osbournes that other managers got greedy.
