Birmingham, England, will honor late metal legend Ozzy Osbourne with the city’s first Ozzy Day.

The citywide celebration is scheduled for July 22, the first anniversary of Ozzy’s death, with events set to take place across Birmingham. The festivities will feature art installations and live music.

Birmingham’s giant bull statue, which is named Ozzy, will also be specially dressed for the occasion.

“Ozzy Day is a fantastic example of Birmingham working together to celebrate the legendary Ozzy Osbourne,” says Sam Watson, chair of Central BID Birmingham. “By bringing together businesses, cultural organisations and public spaces, we’re creating a city-centre-wide experience that encourages people to celebrate the legacy of a truly global, Birmingham-born icon.”

Ozzy died on July 22, 2025, just over two weeks after his final performance with his original Black Sabbath bandmates at the massive Back to the Beginning concert. He was 76.
