Ozzy Osbourne Statue Set To Be Unveiled At Hellfest This June

Metal legend Ozzy Osbourne will soon be immortalized with a towering statue at Hellfest, one of the world’s biggest heavy music gatherings.

The tribute will debut during this year’s festival in Clisson, with the unveiling planned for June 18. The news was revealed by Sharon Osbourne while speaking at the MIDEM.

During the presentation, Sharon shared preview images of the sculpture and reacted in real time:

“Oh, there he is. Look at him, a rock god,” she said. “That is going to debut at Hellfest, and that is June 18th. And the whole family will be there to see it. And it’s such a great tribute. It’s amazing. So, I can only thank Ben Barbaud. Just bless you. It’s an amazing piece of art.”

Hellfest previously paid tribute to another icon of heavy music in 2022, when a statue honoring Lemmy Kilmister was installed at the festival grounds. That sculpture was created by French artist Caroline Brisset, while the creator of the Ozzy monument has yet to be revealed.

The June 18–21 festival will feature headline performances from Bring Me The Horizon, Iron Maiden, Limp Bizkit, and The Offspring, alongside major names including Deep Purple, Megadeth, Alice Cooper, and Papa Roach.
