Here’s some information on “The Pit” promotion for Ozzfest 2001… Listed below are the markets with enough balls take on the Pit! The rest either couldn’t or wouldn’t do it!! Some shows are already general admission so the whole venue (or at least the floor) is already a swirling mad vortex. There is nothing we […]

I just found out that the second stage/first stage stuff will be playing out slightly differently this time around than in the previous Ozzfests. All of the second stage bands will play before the first main stage band goes on. Also, the rest of the second stage acts have been announced: Distrubed (headliner), The Union […]

Sharon’s office has released the official list of 2001 Ozzfest tour dates. They’re up now on my Ozzfest 2001 tour page – check ’em out!

It actually hits Europe before it comes to the States. The OZZFest tour will hit Milton Keynes Bowl on May 26th. Sabbath then comes to the states to begin final rehearsals for the US Ozzfest tour, which starts on June 8th.

NEW YORK _ Ozzy Osbourne’s last release, 1995’s Ozzmosis, was "a lazy record," the heavy-metal godfather admits, so he’s aiming to top it with a diverse new album that will combine epic songwriting with his signature hard rock and power ballads.

In other amusing Grammy news, a song from the South Park movie was also nominated in another category (Blame Canda). From Joe: This text was taken from the Official Ozzy site. If you visit there, you can view clips of the trailer online. The Ozzfest is coming to a theater near you! That’s right, you […]

The long overdue reviews from Ozzfest 99 & the Summer US tour are finally online! I know it’s been a long time coming, but the more I let getting them done slip by me, the larger the project became, and the less I really wanted to work on it, since I don’t have as much […]

Did some checking, and I now have online what I believe to be the official list of tour dates. Check it out.

Here’s some stuff that I’ve found out over the last week about the Ozzfest tour. Yes, Black Sabbath (Ozzy/Tony/Geezer/Bill) are playing Ozzfest ’99. Yes, Geoff Nicholls will be there to play keyboards/back up Ozzy again. Yes, the dates appear to be official. Yes, Judas Priest had to pull out due to recording issues (DAMMIT!) Yes, […]

I’m also hearing some rumours about Sabbath and Ozzfest ’99. For now, that’s all they are. Rumours. My gut feeling says that this probably won’t happen. Given all the recent health problems, I’d be surprised if Oz tries to go out on tour at all in the near future.
