One year after the passing of Ozzy Osbourne, his hometown of Birmingham is coming together to celebrate the man who helped create heavy metal.

The city that gave the world Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath is preparing to honour one of its greatest cultural icons.
On 22 July 2026, Birmingham will host the inaugural Ozzy Day, marking one year since the legendary frontman passed away. The free, city-wide celebration will pay tribute to the musician whose unmistakable voice and fearless stage presence helped define heavy metal for generations.
The event will feature live performances, public art, film screenings and interactive experiences across Birmingham's city centre, giving fans the opportunity to celebrate Ozzy's extraordinary life and career.

For music fans, Birmingham isn't just another city—it's the birthplace of Black Sabbath and the home of modern heavy metal.

- The iconic Black Sabbath Bench and Bridge
- Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery
- Birmingham New Street Station
- Bullring and Selfridges
- Martineau Place
Special performances from local musicians and the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra will also help bring Ozzy's catalogue back to life throughout the day.
