Ozzy Osbourne wasn't just a rock icon, he defined heavy metal. From founding Black Sabbath to headlining global stages for over five decades, Ozzy shaped the very sound and spirit that Download Festival celebrates every year.

With the passing of this true legend, it's only right that we honor his immeasurable contribution to music by renaming the main stage at Download Festival as "The Ozzy Osbourne Stage" or simply "The Ozzy Stage".

Download has always been more than a festival, it's a pilgrimage for metal and rock fans worldwide. Ozzy's history with Donington goes back decades, and he has graced the Download and Monsters of Rock stages countless times. His presence, voice, and legacy are woven into the festival’s DNA.

This tribute would not only celebrate a pioneer of our scene but also remind future generations of the Prince of Darkness who lit the path.

Sign this petition to urge Download Festival organizers (Live Nation and Festival Republic) to immortalize Ozzy’s legacy in the most fitting way possible, with the main stage that roars in his name.
