Ozzfest is only for one day

2008-05-13 by Thor | 41 Comments
OZZFEST 2008 is officially back - for one day only. The all day festival will take place at the oddly named Pizza Hut Park in [as predicted] Dallas, Texas. It will mark OZZY OSBOURNE’s only US performance of the year, and will feature three stages, plus the regular sidebar entertainment.

The lineup for this years event is as follows:

Main Stage

Ozzy Osbourne
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
Drowning Pool
Rigor Mortis

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

I'd like to see The Sword, Shadows Fall, and Metallica but that's about it really.

I'm sure HellYeah, Jonathan Davis, Cavalera Conspiracy and the Dimebag tribute would all be just awful.

Lame.
For one day, (probably) the ticket price, and the lineup.
Only two bands I kinda want to see.

The fact they have Hell Yeah in the first stage makes this shitty.

Witchcraft is the best band on this, and totally out of place.

I might go to see Metallica, DevilDriver, Goatwhore and Rigor Mortis. Chances are I'll pass though.

Its probably only 1 day this year cause last year sucked so bad, that they wern't packing venues. (even with it being free) Ozzy probably wants to feel like people still like his tour, so he takes the attendees from his normal 30+ stops and crams them into 1 giant show.

Oh yea, and the lineup blows. Anyone who knows there shit down in dallas will blow off ozzfest and go to warped ;)

Saw this earlier. Apparently it's one day only since Ozzy already toured this year and doesn't need to push himself through a whole summer of touring. At least that was Sharon's take on it. My take is the dude needs to retire. I'd go mainly for Metallica, Shadows Fall and In This Moment but I'm definitely holding out to see Metallica when they tour soon after their new record is released. And when the venue isn't a 3+ hour plane ride away.

Well, on the plus side theres Metallica, DevilDriver, and Sevendust but on the downside there is just about everything else...hahaha

How the hell did Apocalyptica get on here? There's no way anybody going to see the rest of those bands would be interested in them...

Needs some Iron Maiden, that's the only reasons anyone would ever go to Ozzfest.

Ozzfest has had only one pretty good lineup, and this is definitely not it.

I sure hope you're talking about the 2004 lineup.

I was actually thinking the same thing. It would be kind of cool to see them play a couple songs with Metallica though.

I'd go for Metallica, Shadows Fall, The Sword and Soilent Green.

But then again I'm going to Hellfest, so wth.

Rigor Mortis will obliterate all that attend this. The minds of the thousand mallcore kids that attend this will explode upon hearing their awesomeness.

WOW!! Every year Ozzfest seems to sink lower and lower. I'd love to see what next year's looks like, if there even is one.

Although Ozzy's voice is pretty shot, him and his band have a pretty powerful stage performance even today. And dude, Metallica... come on.
