Ozzy Osbourne Exhibition Closing Soon
Fans of Ozzy Osbourne have just a few weeks left to visit Ozzy Osbourne: Working Class Hero at Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery before the exhibition closes September 27, 2026. The free exhibit chronicles Ozzy’s journey from his working-class roots in Aston to global rock stardom, featuring personal memorabilia, awards, photos and video. A centerpiece is the iconic gothic throne Ozzy used during his final performance at Villa Park’s Back To The Beginning concert. The exhibition has attracted nearly 800,000 visitors since opening in June 2025 and has been extended twice due to overwhelming demand.
Iron Maiden Celebrates 40 Years of Somewhere in Time
Iron Maiden is celebrating the 40th anniversary of its classic 1986 album Somewhere in Time with a limited-edition Oxblood vinyl reissue featuring the 2015 remaster. The band will also release a nine-album vinyl box set in December marking its 50th anniversary, covering its first nine studio albums from Iron Maiden through Fear of the Dark.
The releases come as Maiden continues its massive “Run For Your Lives” tour, which celebrates the band’s first 50 years and focuses on songs from its early albums. The North American leg began August 29, with the band set to headline Louder Than Life in Kentucky on September 17. The tour also continues the group’s no-phone policy, asking fans to limit camera use during performances.
Scorpions Postpone 2026 Tour Dates
The Scorpions have postponed several upcoming 2026 tour dates due to “unforeseen circumstances.” Three shows in Mexico scheduled for September, along with the band’s September Las Vegas residency dates, have been moved to 2027. The band apologized to fans and said they look forward to returning to Las Vegas next September. The Scorpions also plan to announce additional European dates for 2027 as part of their “Coming Home – 60 Years of Scorpions” tour.
