Unearth will have a non rotating slot direct to Atreyu who are direct to second stage headliners Black Label Society. Prior to Unearth's performance is Norma Jean then Bleeding Through.

Band Vocalist Trevor Phipps states, "Ozzfest 2006, another summer of drinking Miller Lite and Jagermeister. Another summer of playing for and hanging out with the best metal fans on the planet. Another summer of BBQ-ing and boozing with all of our friends bands. And another summer of kicking peoples ass with a new record. Honestly we are looking forward to this more than any tour we have ever done. We are straight up honored to be part of this tradition once again. See you all this summer!"

Known for raising the bar; Unearth are prepared to release their new album on August 8th With a solid foundation of 130,000 records scanned in the U. S. of their monumental Metal Blade Records Debut the oncoming storm –this highly anticipated recording will be the blueprint for setting the standard for Metal and beyond.

No strangers to audiences worldwide, Unearth proves themselves repeatedly, laying audiences to waste on previous tours such as the legendary lineup of Ozzfest 2004 with Judas Priest , Slayer, and Dimmu Borgir and Hatebreed ; Atreyu, Sounds of the Underground 2005 with Lamb of God, Opeth and more; Slipknot and label mates As I Lay dying.
