NOW LET’S CRANK IT TO 20,000 🔥🖤
C’mon butt… take a moment. Take it in.
15,000 metalheads, rock lifers, Sabbath disciples and riff-worshippers have united behind one glorious mission:
📅 Making July 22nd officially OZZY OSBOURNE DAY.
This isn’t just a number. This is proof that the Prince of Darkness still rules the night, the pits, the playlists and our collective rock ’n’ roll souls. 🦇🎤
🖤 WHY THIS MATTERS (AND WHY IT SLAPS)
Whether you found him through Ozzy Osbourne’s solo madness or the doom-laced birth of heavy metal with Black Sabbath, his impact is untouchable.
Ozzy didn’t just sing songs.
He changed culture, rewired music, and gave every outsider kid a place to belong.
Heavy metal doesn’t exist without him.
Festivals don’t feel the same without his shadow.
And rock history doesn’t turn a page without Ozzy’s fingerprints all over it. 🤘🔥
📈 FROM 15,000 TO 20,000 – LET’S FINISH THIS PROPER JOB
We’ve smashed through 15K, and now the finish line is in sight.
20,000 signatures isn’t just a target — it’s a statement.
A statement that metal fans still show up.
A statement that legends matter.
A statement that Ozzy deserves a day carved into the calendar in permanent black marker. 🖤🗓️

Michael is the founder, editor, and chief riff wrangler behind The Riff Report, an independent Welsh rock and metal publication built by fans, for fans. With a lifelong passion for loud guitars, unforgettable live shows, and the incredible community that surrounds rock and metal, he created The Riff Report to celebrate everything that makes the scene special—from legendary headline acts and grassroots venues to rising bands that deserve to be heard.
A familiar face at festivals across the UK, Michael spends much of the year covering events including Download Festival, Bloodstock Open Air, Steelhouse Festival, Firevolt, Plumpton Revival, and many more. Whether he’s battling the Welsh weather on a mountainside, surviving a weekend in a muddy campsite, or squeezed against the front barrier with thousands of fellow fans, he’s always searching for the next great story to share.
As editor of The Riff Report, Michael writes festival guides, breaking news, album reviews, gig reviews, interviews, opinion pieces, nostalgia features, and behind-the-scenes stories from across the rock and metal world. His writing combines honest opinions, humour, and a genuine love for live music, bringing readers closer to the bands, festivals, venues, and people that keep the scene alive.
Michael is particularly passionate about supporting independent artists, local venues, charities, and the wider UK rock and metal community. He believes every band deserves a chance to be discovered and every festival has a story worth telling. Through The Riff Report, he aims to shine a spotlight on both the biggest names in rock and the future stars waiting to break through.
When he’s not writing or interviewing artists, you’ll probably find him exploring festival campsites, photographing live shows, chatting with fellow fans over a pint, or planning the next road trip in search of more riffs, bigger crowds, and unforgettable moments.
Above all, Michael believes rock and metal are about more than music—they’re about community, friendship, and creating memories that last a lifetime. That’s exactly what The Riff Report exists to celebrate.
Proudly Welsh. Proudly Loud. Always chasing the next great riff. 🤘
