No Ozzfest This Year (Sorta)
Filed under: Music Minute
The annual summer heavy-metal rock concert known as Ozzfest is changing things up this year!
It will no longer be touring the country and performing nonstop. Instead, they have settled on making Ozzfest a one-day mega event.
It will take place this year in Dallas at the Pizza Hut Park on Saturday, August 9th.
The headliners include Metallica, and - of course - Ozzy Osbourne.
Of the event, family matriarch and manager Sharon Osbourne says, "Ozzy just finished an 11-month world tour, so I think he deserves a summer off. 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."
Smart!
If all goes well, next year she can turn Ozzfest into a 3-day super mega festival!
Sharon adds, "This is just the beginning. Ozzy has great relationships with all of the bands that have played Ozzfest. 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 lineup."
Ozzfest tickets go on sale Saturday, May 31.

I MIGHT CRY MY FUCKING EYES OUT.
DO YOU KNOW HOW CRAPPY FESTIVALS ARE THIS SUMMER?
NO OZZFEST IS LIKE THE APOCALIPSIS.
WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU WANT US TO GO TO?
FUCKING WARPED TOUR?
THAT'S FOR PUSSIES.
MAYHEM FESTIVAL FTMFW!
BLACK TIDE FTW!
too bad every other band on the ozzfest lineup SUCKS. minus…solient green and shadows fall.
Metal Mayhem is the new ozzfest with a killer lineup.
FUCK YOU SHARON.. what about us midwest/east coast rockers.. piss on us huh.. well piss on you bitch.. i shall boycott your stupid fuckin festive and go to rock on the range or lalapalooza instead.. Ozzy old ass sucks anyway. Continue sippin on your geratol you wash up bastards
Ozzfest has become a joke! It's a shell of what it shoul've been! Gigantour and Sounds Of The Underground bury Ozzfest and that cunt wife of his when it come to credibility in the metal scene. Only real festival for harder edged bands Sharon? You really need to pull your head out of your ass for a few minutes! Fuck!! We just had the Power Fest up here in Chicago and that line-up buried the piss poor shit bands you've been booking! The last band worth a fuck to do Ozzfest that was worth a fuck was Iron Maiden and that whore treated them like shit!
Ozzy,"Sharon did you pick up FOXY BROWN'S NEW ALBUM BROOKLYN DON DIVA!" She's got huge tits and its IN STORES NOW!!!!!!!!

i saw ozzy recently, and it was terrible, a sad joke. The drooling Prince of Prozac just stands on stage and pisses his pants while he sings the wrong lyrics to songs he doesn't give a fuck about anymore. he hasn't made a good record since…the 80s?
But Sharon, being a good pimp that she is knows she can make him go out and humiliate himself on stage because she always needs more plastic surgery or her ugly crackhead kids need another trip to rehab annually.
they blew it when they tried to give Iron Maiden a hard time, and the fans reacted. No wonder they had to do a free ozzfest last year, because metal fans aren't buying their crap anymore.
And fuck Zack Wilde, the fake redneck biker and his stupid black label society,
IT'LL BE A BUNCH OF COKE SNIFFING………LSD TAKING……………..PILL POPPING……………..DEVIL WORSHIPING…….MUSHROOM TAKING………SKIN HEAD……………..DOG SMELLING……….. REDNECK MOTHER FUCKERS IN THE BUILDING
well that fucking sucks. I think the only person I would have went to see would have been Metallica,but lucky for me they are playing in Tucson. I have seen Ozzfest evey year since it has come to Phoenix and they should have just gone on without Ozzy. Oh well at least the Mayhem tour will kick ass! Slipknot and Disturbed all the way!
sharon osbourne is a complete bitch, she puts on an act to pretend she's such a lovely mother figure but really she is a nasty piece of work.
Ozzfest blows, did last year and the year before that. Ozzie should just retire, because he's fucking lame.
When I saw him he was barefoot and wearing sweatpants!
At least Iron Maiden was there, those old farts no how to tear it up!
Anyway, boycott that stupid event, it's for fucking posers!
Sharon Osbourne is the one who discovered Otep Shamaya. OTEP has been on Ozzfest 3 times, hope they are on it this year!!1
ew pizza hut park is NOT in dallas. its a half hour away in Frisco which is basically a brand new suburb. Everything looks the same and its fucking LLLAAAMMMEEE
I haven't been to Ozzfest yet but this is sort of taking away my chance but I am fine with it if it ends up becoming this millenniums Woodstock.
Awesome !! Texas LOVES to ROCK and Dallas is the right place for OZZFEST.. its actually Frisco, Texas a suburb of the BIG D ! Right On !
I just cannot believe Ozzy does tours for 11 months, I wonder where? Ozzy just finished an 11-month world tour, so I think he deserves a summer off, when she said that, I wonder if it was around England, we just get Texas, y'all.
That should be fun, its not a very big place hence the name park plus in August everyone will probably pass out from the heat. Have fun!
pizza hut park?
BA HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAH
Is this because of Crue Fest this year..I think that'll blow ozzfest out of the water. Ill be there July 16 at Tinley Park
Dallas does not want this crap!
great, so the year Metallica is actually gonna healine they fuckin make it a one day event in fuckin Texas!! Thanks a lot!!
BORING !!!!…BORING !!!!…THAT WHOLE FAMILY AND THIER FUGLY TALENTLESS MOTHER AND TALENTLESS KIDS BORE US TO TEARS… !!!..THEY ARE ALL JUST DESPARATELY CLINGING TO D LIST CELEBRITY !!!! ZZZZZzzzz!!!
Ozzy can't hold a candle to the MIGHTY VAN HALEN!!! No band on the planet can touch Van Halen!!!!!! They fucking rule!!!!!!!!I heard that Van Halen was wanting to much $$$ to appear at Ozzfest therefore they settled with the INFERIOR metallica.
This shit isn't real metal you fucking posers. You're all a bunch of losers who think you're cool listening to mallcore shit.
that's such fucking bullshit. not only does everyone get jipped out of ozzfest…but there's not canadian version of it…mind you we've gotten fucked out of a real ozzfest for years…im so dissapointed.
Metallica?? It's pretty sad that they can't get anyone better to headline than Metallica. The great metal band of the 80's is now washed up, old, cry baby, sell outs. And they suck. I wouldn't go if it was free.
Holy s*** that is literally right down the street from my house! Why couldn't they pick somewhere like L.A. where they would fit in?
Sharon is an ugly frump. Ozzy is fried.
SHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAARRRRRRRON. She is brilliant. Haters shut your pie hole. She'll rip your face off and shove it up your ass
Texas? wtf… have the fest in San Diego, or Vegas helloooo… TX is probably just a cheap venue b.c that whole state sucks.
That's Ozzie? At first glance I coulda swore it was Michael Jackson!
The "Pizza Hut Park," huh?
I love Sharon but she needs to get her Lap Band put back in. She's gaining her weight back.. That sucks for her.
Pizza Hut Park?? Now THAT'S an unfortunately-named venue!
OK I go to Ozzfest each summer with my cousin. Its like are weekend to go somewhere with out our parents. It sad This year we can't go. Last Place I want to go is Dallas in the summer Its way to hot. And I can't aford to go.
that sucks theres no way my parent will let me dallas. hopefully next summer it will be a tour so i can go. my cousin will also be sad since ozzy is one of his favorites also metallic i can already here him complaining including his dad lol
Ozzy wants to capitalize on summer festivals, like Perry Ferrel / Lollapalooza successfully did.
Ozzfest has sucked since 2005ish. Gigantour is where its at. Not to mention The Judas Priest/Motorhead/Testament tour is going to be gnarly! Too bad sounds of the Underground is no more cause THAT was a fun festival. The fact is Ozzfest is loosing cash and appeal. With so many other festivals comming around and great bands doing solo tours this summer more metal kids want to give there money elsewhere. Not to mention the band selection is recent ozzfest has been so shitty no wonder nobody goes. The only thing good about last years ozzfest was the fact that Nile played. Not to mention thanks to stupid numetal kids at the PNC show, alot of Amphitheaters are taking stricter percausions for metal acts. Fuck you Ozzfest and your stupid trashy gotho fans. Besides if you want a real metal festival go to Deathfest in Maryland or to one of Europes many festvials.
Wacken style baby!
There is a lot of pain in Sharon Osbourne
Re: Candy –
STFU, that's bullshit. DFW has been suffering since the loss of the Eagle. Now that it's back so are the awesome summer concerts. I think Dallas deserves as many huge venues as they can get.
August in Dallas Texas. Yea it should be about 120 degree's.
tragedy!!!!
fuck ozzy! he preforms terribly
the good black sabbath ozzy is gone
metallica suck
viva megadeth!!
viva ozzfest!
metallica are losers
just kidding … they are kings among men.. id kill to get in bed with lars… or a threeway with sharon and kirk… ohhh ya
