How to Celebrate ‘Ozzy Day’ Having performed his funeral procession, five-piece Bostin Brass will bring pop-up performances of Ozzy’s music to the streets of Birmingham; a special lunchtime show by musicians from CBSO will take place at Bullring; and you can capture free commemorative Polaroids alongside a specially dressed Ozzy the Bull at New Street. Birmingham Music Archive will also be on hand at Birmingham New Street to invite fans to share their stories, memories and reflections on Ozzy’s extraordinary impact on the city and the world, contributing their messages to a commemorative guestbook that will become part of the day’s lasting legacy. Alongside the live programme, OPUS has commissioned a series of short films documenting Birmingham’s tribute to one of its greatest cultural icons. You can also grab a bespoke limited-edition t-shirt produced with a triumphant Ozzy Osbourne graphic from his farewell concert, Back to the Beginning, at Selfridges, Bullring.
