Flying High Forever- Tribute to Ozzy Osbourne

St. Petersburg, FL-
Nestled in the downtown district is a music venue that is no stranger to the big names of the industry. Over the last 40 years the iron gates and stage of Jannus Live have hosted the like of artists like Green Day, Wu Tang Clan, Say Anything, RHCP, Ice Cube, Katie Perry, Marilyn Manson, Deftones, Bowling For Soup, and so many more.

On November 29th 2025, Jannus Live would once again be the MainStage, for a tribute to a name that rings throughout music as not only the god father of Hard Rock/Metal. But the inspiration of generations of musicians.
The one and only, “The Prince of Darkness” Ozzy Osbourne.

This was no ordinary 3-5 person tribute band, covering the songs of their idols.
“Flying High Forever” was BIG! It was different and it was out to set the tone of major tributes on its first go around. and by Major, I mean 32. That’s right, 32 different musicians all rolled into one.

Groups of 6-8 rotated on and off the stage like a pro hockey team. Two drum kits alternating and for some songs even used both at the same time.
The talent? A list of names of National and Local artist forming a roster as if hand picked by The Prince of Darkness his self.
