Ozzfest 2007 – Alice in Chains Confirmed to Headline Main Stage?
Wednesday, January 31, 2007
As the rumor mill starts to churn once again for the summer’s longest running touring metal festival, OZZFEST 2007, the biggest name to drop out of the sky is ALICE IN CHAINS. The band is reported to have recently wrapped up a deal that will see them headline this year’s main stage. Currently signed to Colombia Records, the Jerry Cantrell led outfit is now fronted by former COMES WITH THE FALL vocalist William DuVall.
For those out of the loop on the band’s current lineup, ALICE IN CHAINS is:
Jerry Cantrell – lead guitars, vocals
Mike Inez - bass
Sean Kinney - drums
William DuVall - vocals, rhythm guitars
More information regarding the festival and it’s rumored participants is expected later this week.

what the hell? how random…
This would be kinda cool but anything less then Black Sabbath just is a disappointment.
I hear Killswitch Engage and either Down or Hell Yeah will be on the fest too. Sounds like they are off to a better start than last year.
Heaven and Hell should headline :P
It sounds better than last year, but that really is not saying much. How about some SLAYER!
I’m already sold. AIC has always been my favorite band, and I always wanted to see them. Even though Layne’s not with them anymore, I’ll still see them while I have the chance.
P.S., now that Rage Against The Machine has returned, I’d like to see them on the bill as well
just give it up ozzy.
If Rage is on the Fest i will be sick.
Lumbergh, why should he give it up? He can still sing anyone who saw him last year on the fest will tell you that. Dont be such POOPHOLE
really fucking awesome or kinda lame (without layne)?
i cant decide
id love to see RATM tho
I’d rather jam pencils in my ears than see RATM live. Either way I’d end up deaf, but if I go with the pencils it would be MUCH less painful.
Oh lord. Pass on rumors
Just let Rage headline it. Have mastodon play main stage, they’re really hot right now and could benefit from more exposure. Down would be great, and so would something like opeth, as long as they got at least 40 minutes, it would show those nu metal fucks what its all about. But Alice in Chains isnt the same without layne, no matter if you like them or not. Heres an idea: Let dream theater play it, that would be sweet.
rammstein needs to be on main stage and mushuga
spell meshuggah right, moron.
Good fucking call on the Rammstein.
fuck yeah volkerball is the shit
Yeah, I like the Heaven And Hell. Rage would be tight too, but I also foresee:
Hellyeah ( Mudvayne/Pantera/Nothingface – April release)
Velvet Revolver (same…April)
Bloodsimple (Late Spring/Early Summer)
Mastodon
Static-X (same..April)
Another Animal (Godsmack sans Sully)
Otep
Isis
Daughters of Mara (new metal band on Virgin=$$$)
Are all these bands awesome? No. But they all make sense due to release dates and pushes.
Isis would be amazing.
I don’t know if I would want to see them on Ozzfest, I don’t know if they would really fit with the rest of the bands on tour. I think they would be better as openers for the headliners or the band that goes on after the main stage opening band. I don’t know, they can fit and they can’t.
I think I would much rather see Hellyeah as there is some talent in that band (to say the least).
Seriously: It would be pretty cool if Heaven and Hell got on.
ALICE IN CHAINS WOULD BE GOOD, NOT GREAT, BUT GOOD TO HEADLINE OZZFEST. ALSO, I HEARD DOWN MIGHT BE IN AS WELL. HELL YEAH WOULD FIT IN NICELY. CALL ME CRAZY, BUT I’D LIKE GOJIRA TO COME OUT ON THIS YEAR’S OZZFEST.
How about Children of Bodom???? or MANOWAR!!!
i heard that Priest is comming out with a new record and the ruled last time they came with ozzfest why not again this year. And no offense to anyone but AIC is not the kind of music i want to hear at ozzfest, now Godsmack is soupposed to have a new record coming out they would fit nicly into the realm of ozzfest and Rage blows screw them on ozzfest
