Ozzy Osbourne had a pretty surprising relationship with the city of Shreveport. Whether it was the musical history the city possesses, or friends that lived locally, he made Shreveport a pretty regular tour stop.

How Often Did Ozzy Osbourne Perform In Shreveport?

The city of Shreveport hosted 5 Ozzy Osbourne solo concerts, the second most among Louisiana cities. New Orleans welcomed The Prince Of Darkness for 7 shows, including 3 festival performances.

In Shreveport, Ozzy returned to the city like waves lapping on a beach for over a decade. Performing his first solo show in Louisiana at The Hirsch Memorial Coliseum on March 2nd, 1982. He would come back 4 years later on October 4th, 1986. Then he was back on January 7th, 1989 for his third Shreveport concert.

Ozzy Osbourne's Shreveport Legacy

There are probably some people out there who had a chance to see Ozzy perform all 5 of these Shreveport shows. But since his first solo show was in 1982, which was 43 years ago, that number is sadly shrinking. If you were 21-years-old during Ozzy's first Shreveport concert, you're around 64 now. So those who were a little bit older during that first show are now approaching 70-years-old.

But for that lucky group, they had a chance to see 5 performances from one of the greatest of all time, in their own backyard.
