The bands have also been announced and a wide variety of genres are represented, from doom metal (The Sword) to heavy metal (Metallica). This will also be Ozzy's only tour date of the summer. Tickets go on sale May 31st at ozzfest.com, with prices yet to be determined.
Main Stage
Ozzy Osbourne
Metallica
Jonathan Davis of Korn
Serj Tankian
Hellyeah

All-star tribute to late Pantera guitarist "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott

Wow. That's pretty freakin' lame. Not gonna lie. One show in ONE location?
Way to alienate all of your other fans, Ozzy.

It probably came down to a choice between a tour or this, and after last year's freebie, they probably figured people would balk at the notion of paying for it when it came to their town again. I don't know if any of that is true, but either way I have a feeling ozzfest as we used to know it is dead and buried.

Can't believe how they ruined a summer tradition. Always looked forward to this tour. I'm glad this summer has Rockstar Mayhem Tour, Iron Maiden hitting the road & Judas Priest w/ Motorhead & Heaven and Hell. F*** Ozzfest!
