OZZFEST RETURNS AS ONE-DAY STADIUM SPECTACULAR
ON AUGUST 9 IN DALLAS, TX
WITH OZZY OSBOURNE AND METALLICA
TOP AND CUTTING-EDGE ACTS
TO IGNITE THREE STAGES
All eyes and ears will be on Dallas, Texas Saturday, August 9. No conspiracy theory here--just the facts.
OZZFEST--the original and iconic hard rock festival--returns in 2008 as a one-day stadium spectacular that teams OZZFEST founder and namesake Ozzy Osbourne (in his only U.S. concert appearance this summer) with Metallica (marking their OZZFEST debut).
Produced by Sharon Osbourne and AEG LIVE, the all-day festival at Pizza Hut Park in hard music-loving Dallas will feature three stages of non-stop talent (with many OZZFEST alumni) and reliably twisted OZZFEST side attractions.
The full main stage lineup will also spotlight performances by Serj Tankian (System of a Down), Hellyeah, Jonathan Davis (Korn), Cavalera Conspiracy, Shadows Fall, Apocalyptica and In This Moment. Also scheduled on the main stage is a special all-star tribute to slain Pantera guitarist ‘Dimebag’ Darrell Abbott. Second stage acts include Sevendust, Devildriver, Kingdom of Sorrow, Soilent Green, Witchcraft and Goatwhore. The Texas (third) stage—“an homage to the “many great metal bands that come from Texas,” says Sharon Osbourne--features The Sword, Drowning Pool and Rigor Mortis.
“Ozzy just finished an 11-month world tour so I think he deserves a summer off,” Sharon says about this year’s one-day OZZFEST. “We’re going to be a stadium destination festival for now--we have gone past doing the sheds every summer. We’ve given everyone else the blueprint and we have to keep evolving OZZFEST. This is just the beginning; AEG Live and I have a lot of new ideas for OZZFEST.”
This year’s dynamic line-up encompasses artists who’ve played OZZFEST before in different incarnations such as Serj Tankian (System of a Down); Jonathan Davis (Korn); Hellyeah’s Vinnie Paul (Pantera) and Chad Gray (Mudvayne); Kingdom of Sorrow’s Jamie Jasta (Hatebreed) and Kirk Windstein (Down); and Max Cavalera (Soulfly, Sepultura) of Cavalara Conspiracy. Other OZZFEST graduates include Shadows Fall, Sevendust, Devildriver, Drowning Pool and In This Moment.
“Ozzy has great relationships with all of the bands that have played OZZFEST,” says Sharon. “We’re the only real festival for harder edge bands and these artists have been very loyal to us--there is lots of love on this line-up.”
Tickets for this year’s OZZFEST will go on sale Saturday, May 31. For up-to-the-minute details go to www.Ozzfest.com.
You know what? Fuck it.
Road trip.
Fuck gas prices.
I will just make a road trip and go to other places, including Ozzfest with friends.
This lineup is brilliant.

Metallica and Ozzy on the same concert bill. Epic indeed. It might have to be a roadtrip. Now the battle will be to convince some friends to split up the gas costs.
Mayhem Fest will serve as the spiritual successor.

Well.... the lineup is absolutely amazing. Maybe it's worth a road trip.
It's a pity though. That's a lot of money.

In regards to the actual show.....I see this 'tribute to Dimebag Darrell' at the show. I wonder if Phil Anselmo will be invited or attend? I mean, without him, there would have been no Pantera. And with no Pantera, DImebag may not have gotten the recognition he earned. Any thoughts?

Why not? That's all you guys have been doing for the past month is whining about going and seeing ozzfest. You could care less obviously if Ozzy is there or not. Shows how shitty of a fan you are.
