Also in the news
BBC News writes that Ozzfest is going to Milton Keynes because building work at Villa Park rules out a Birmingham return. Louder has the details: a one-day UK edition at the National Bowl on Saturday 10 July 2027, ahead of dates in San Bernardino and Mexico City. No acts have been named yet, and Early Bat tickets went on sale on 6 November, before the line-up announcement.
Dates and line-ups are as announced. Check each festival’s own site before booking.
