Metallica
——————
Serj Tankian (solo)
Hell Yeah!
Jonathan Davis (solo)
Cavalera Conspiracy
Shadows Fall
Apocalyptica
In This Moment
…plus “all star” Dimebag Darrell tribute

Second Stage

Sevendust
Devildriver
Kingdom of Sorrow
Soilent Green
Witchcraft
Goatwhore

Third Stage (”Texas Stage”)

The Sword

Rigor Mortis

Tickets for this year’s OZZFEST will go on sale Saturday, May 31. You can read the full press release here.

What a way for Ozzy to say “fuck you” to his fans by giving us one date in fuckin’ Texas!

Looks like Ozzfest can’t compete with other tour packages this summer. There probably won’t be a SOTU tour this year either.

How is this a ‘fuck you’ to the fans? Is Ozzy Osbourne somehow ‘obligated’ to arrange you a full-scale US mega festival tour?

For the record I would have went had that been a traditional Ozzfest.

Dissapointing, iver been going to this since 97. the line up is ok, but would have gone if it hit my area. I think its a bitch ass way to go out on ozzy’s part. if he doesnt want to do it anymore, just say its the last one, do a full tour, and let the fans have one last ozzfest….

Replace Sevendust with the The Sword, and the second stage is awesome. That lineup should be a tour. But fuck this show, plenty of other better tours/shows throughout the summer that beat it.

I just think that for it being Ozzfest and for them to make it a one day festival, there needs to be more bands on the bill. Look at the giant festivals all around the world and you notice this tour is lacking alot

For all you fucking retards that said this lineup sucked. This was by far the best Ozzfest that i have been to for the past six years. Ozzy alone was on stage for three hours and thirty minutes. Metallica started at midnight and didnt finish until 4 in the morning. The Dimebag tribute was about 3 hours long. Included Anthrax, members of Biohazard, Jerry Cantrell, and alot of other people. The only disappointment of the whole night was Sevendust. The music was good from them but they really didnt seem like they were into it.
