A major mainstage act is also said to be announced on May 23rd. There's much speculation of this being Metallica, although their record label and the band have denied those rumors. The full press release posted on Ozzfest.com follows.
“They came, they saw, they pumped fists,” wrote Entertainment Weekly last year about the fans who experienced the “sweaty-heady essence” of the 10th anniversary of the king of festivals, the mighty OZZfest.
And now, amped up to 11, the summer’s premiere touring concert festival enters its second decade this July with clenched teeth and trademark invincible spirit. OZZfest will roll out [need launch date] and visit [need total #] cities, with a full itinerary due shortly.
Founder and namesake OZZY OSBOURNE is set to headline just 10 shows this summer. Why? “Because after 10 years I feel it’s time to let someone else share the headlining spotlight. We want to shake it up a bit this year” says OZZY. “I’ve closed virtually every OZZfest performance for a decade now and I feel I can finally let other artists headline our festival and that’s my intention for the future.”
This year’s main stage lineup features headliner SYSTEM OF A DOWN and such formidable artists as DISTURBED, HATEBREED and LACUNA COIL. Fans can also expect a major main stage addition to be revealed on May 23rd. As testament to the tour’s undeniable impact on the music world, each of the announced main stage act (other than OZZY himself) started out in the trenches on OZZfest’s down-and-dirty second stage and subsequently won the approval of the festival’s discerning followers. Both SYSTEM OF A DOWN and DISTURBED have gone on to enjoy multi-platinum sales for critically acclaimed albums that have entered the charts at #1. *(See artist quotes below.)
Headlining this year’s second stage as a perennial favorite is the Zakk Wylde-led BLACK LABEL SOCIETY, who blew fans away on the main stage last year. Joining them are such high-decibel bands whose names alone underline their fiercely uncompromising vision: ATREYU, UNEARTH, BLEEDING THROUGH, NORMA JEAN, A LIFE ONCE LOST, STRAPPING YOUNG LAD, THE RED CHORD, FULL BLOWN CHAOS, WALLS OF JERICHO, ALL THAT REMAINS and BETWEEN THE BURIED AND ME.
The tour will mark OZZY OSBOURNE’S first solo concerts in three years (having headlined OZZfest with Black Sabbath in 2005 and 2004) and the 20th anniversary of guitarist Zakk Wylde being in his band. OZZY will be debuting a new song at OZZfest from the solo album that he’s currently working on with Zakk (release date TBA). The as-yet-untitled disc will be OZZY’s first solo album of new material since 2001.
OZZFEST has taken on a life of its own and has become a virtual breeding ground for rising bands. The festival has been instrumental in catapulting the careers of platinum-selling artists like System of a Down, Disturbed, Linkin Park, Incubus, Slipknot, Queens of the Stoneage, Drowning Pool, Godsmack, Chevelle and P.O.D.
“As we head into our eleventh year,” says tour founder SHARON OSBOURNE, “OZZfest remains committed to its original vision of sharing this vibrant music and lifestyle that was and is still overlooked by the mainstream media. It’s something real that our audience understands--and demands and they’re undying support for this music is the reason for OZZfest’s continued success.” “Ozzfest has thrived because of repeat business” OSBOURNE continues. Fans of this music know firsthand that Ozzfest offers them a full-day of music. We give them a chance to see the best of the new bands on the 2nd stage to the legends of the genre on the main stage. It’s the only place to see all of these bands on one show!”
Originally launched in 1996, the all-day extravaganza of music and deranged merriment is roaring louder than ever and has produced impressive figures. Number of bands to grace its stages: 146. Number of shows: 263. Number of fans: 4-and-a-half million and counting.
In addition to drawing vital hard rock acts, OZZFEST has always attracted a variety of select sponsors devoted to the tour’s core fan base. In addition to hosting the second stage, Monster Energy will be hosting a VIP/Hospitality area and will invite a limited number of fans to cool off and get re-energized with a cold Monster Energy. Hot Topic will be the festival’s official soft line retailer. PlayStation® will be out in force, giving fans a chance to play the latest software titles for the PlayStation®2 computer entertainment system and the PSP™ (PlayStation® Portable) system while enjoying the hard sounds of the Village of the Damned at Ozzfest. F.Y.E. (For Your Entertainment) is on board for the fifth consecutive year as the official music retailer and will host the FYE autograph tent giving fans the opportunity to meet some of their favorite OZZFEST artists. TROJAN ® brand condoms will also have presence in the Village as the official condom of OZZFEST. Jagermeister will once again bring the backyard BBQ party back to Ozzfest and prove their commitment to metal music with artist autograph signings and tons of free swag for attendees 21 and over.
* ARTIST QUOTES
"We're thrilled to again be a part of one of the greatest American festival traditions. Ozzfest has always been an amazing time for SYSTEM OF A DOWN. We look very forward to the summer."
–John Dolmayan/SYSTEM OF A DOWN
“Ozzfest is where we were born, its been the breeding ground for many hard rock/heavy metal bands and it helped make us who we are. Sharon and Ozzy have both always been strong supporters of the band and we are honored to be doing this tour for a 4th time and to be sharing the stage with some significant Ozzfest alumni.”
--David Draiman/DISTURBED
"First off, the Ozzfest is the most slamming tour out there. I look forward to it every year. You get a chance to see some ass-kickin' new bands and legendary bands, as well. Aside of that, you can hang out all day and drink beer with your buds. Long Live Ozzy & Sharon! Long Live The Ozzfest!"
--Zakk Wylde/BLACK LABEL SOCIETY
"Hatebreed is extremely excited and honored to be a part of this year's Ozzfest. It is by far THE BEST tour we've ever been involved with and we are looking forward to joining up for our 4th year! We will be releasing our 4th album this summer and we plan on playing a bunch of new songs that we've yet to perform live and we're proud to have graduated to the mainstage where our heroes Black Sabbath, Ozzy, Slayer, Judas Priest and many others have performed. We have a lot of surprises in store! See you all this summer!"
--Jamey Jasta/HATEBREED

WORST OZZFEST EVER!!!!!!
Member
Post 7,10,14 pick 1 name and stay with it. COnsidering all your names are dumb as hell anyway. We are not stuck in the 80's we just know where the roots of metal started. Full blown Chaos, Bleeding Through and Unearth. Oh yea great bands you named if you like mallcore bullsh**. Bleeding Through is another A7x with more eyeliner. I will say I am ashamed that you like Btbam because that is pretty much the only band worth seeing and your taste in music sucks. Let me save you the trouble unless you have something insightful to say DON'T say anything!!!!
although one of my favorite bands, S.o.a.d. are headlinging, it does look to be the worst ozzfest yet...disturbed,bls,ozzy,full blown chaos,hatebreed,walls of jericho and of course system are the only decent bands on this year... i remember a time when there were 20 bands on ozzfest and more than half of them kicked @ss.. we need more metal and less hardcore... i dont wanna see beat atreyu, and or any other no name bands... bring back slipknot,mudvayne,manson, korn.. C'MON SHARON!!!

“As we head into our eleventh year,” says tour founder SHARON OSBOURNE, “OZZfest remains committed to its original vision of raising ticket prices every year, making it retardedly expensive to see a few great bands, and sharing this vibrant music and lifestyle that was and is still overlooked by the mainstream media...."
I agree. While there are a few great bands...I say... Skip this sh**. It would be f***ing cool if Sepultura re-united for the mystery slot. But still...that wouldn't be enough to draw me back to Ozzfest.
I look forward to Behemoth, CC, BDM...and NOT paying to meet my favorite bands.
Member
I'm still a fan of SOAD but they don't belong there, they could've been a part of Ozzfest a couple years ago before Mezmerize/Hypnotize. Hopefully the unknown slot is Demon Hunter. And slayerdisciple, Slayer are pretty cool but I'm not too fond of Anthrax, they're not terrible though.
WHAT THE f***IN HELL happened OZZFEST is no more the main stage is not appealing two of the bands where just shipped over from the 2004 OF and the second stage sounds like a rip off BLS must be a team sport to be over there instead of the main satge i dont really see any appealing bands on the second stage like 5 of those bands were already at last yaer or the yaer before ozzfest, and there all mallcore, hardcore, or ok/crapy metalcore. The Main stage is really disapointing considering weve had in the past
Sabbath/Maiden
Sabbath/Priest/Slayer
Ozzy /Pantera
Ozzy/Sabbath/Pantera
hell even Ozzy/ Korn
those are probally some of the biggest i can think of with last 2 yrs espically
im just really disappointed and its all MTV and stupid f***in Sharon Osbourne fault for f***in everything up, but then again with ozzy or sabbath not completly headling anymore ud except the festival to fall apart. Come the f*** on To replace Ozzy or Sabbath with SOAD and Disturbed i woundnt say they deserve that to step in were they were. Ya they can be on the tour or even the main stage but SOAD as a main headliner. For f***s sakes they headline the mainstream Rolling Rock Festival (PA festival ) one year. Bad decision to carry on the legay. Try maby MotorHead, Metallica, Anthrax, (re-united) Sepultura, Pantera ( bring in Zakk Wylde on guitar he was Dime's buddy) and there probally some some other. On the second stage get someone else good over there with BLS like Napalm Death, Running Wild, i named them since there more underground and would co-HL the Second stage. f*** it i dont know i might just go to one of the cities where OZZY is playing just to see him one more time.
why be so critical? i think its a better lineup than last year personally and i'm ready for it to come around my town. It's by far one of the best experiences ever. If you don't want to be a part of it, go to SOTU or GIGantour or whatever...maybe Family Values? doubtful, but anyway, there is no need for all the band trashing....makes us metalheads look ignorant, and we don't want that now do we?
alright to post 26.. r u f'n serious, demon hunter bein the big mystery band? lol ... its gunna be a big band... my bet is godsmack because they;re new album is comin out april 25th and they need to tour after it comes out....metallica denies all rumors that they are playin ozzfest so they're out of the question.... slipknot is takin a break for the year , and corey taylor turned down ozzfest for this year.... i think the mystery band is gunna be between Godsmack, Slayer, Korn, or anthrax... just hope its not some beat band like most of the bands on the 2nd stage
Member
I like that the mystery slot won't be announced until May 23rd...after everyone who wants good tickets has already bought them...nice move.
I'll probably still go...who am I kidding. Other than Disturbed there is no band on there that absolutely repulses me...there are bands that I'd rather not see...but they don't make me wretch any time I see their name (ex. Walls of Jericho). Hatebreed on main stage is a bad idea...they'd be better on 2nd stage...they could easily switch with BLS...which is a band that is okay to watch in seats. The Red Chord, Norma Jean, All That Remains, Between the Buried and Me, and SYL are all bands that will be good to see. It's an alright line-up...that could be made pretty good with the addition of a great special guest...but we'll see...Sepultura, Metallica, or TOOL would be amazing...although I think TOOL is an extremely long shot for that spot. I shudder at the possibility of Guns n' Roses taking that slot...there have been a few rumblings from their direction as of late...and Sharon isn't beyond putting plain "rock" bands up there...remember Velvet Revolver. Not a terrible line-up so far...we'll see what happens.
I've never been to an Ozzfest personally. Occasionally in checking out the line-ups there appears to be a few decent or good bands here or there, but for the most part I'm nearly always unimpressed. That's very much the case with this one. The only bands I'd want to see are BLS, SYL, Full Blown Chaos, and The Red Chord... myself, and any like me in New England will hit the NEM&HCF at the end of April, and skip Ozzy's Retirement Fund.
#26 - Demon Hunter isn't there yet man... they're alright in my book, but probably not O'Fest quality yet... meaning they're too obscure. Which is sorta sad because they have some incredible lyrical content and rhytmic drive isn't bad either... like "Beauty Through The Eyes of a Predator", or "Ribcage". Quite awesome.
Alright, this tour is gonna kick ass. I don't know what you ppl r complaining about, sh** the lineup sounds good to me. Hell I'll go just o see SOAD, OZZY (if he comes to Chicago), Disturbed, Hatebreed, Lacuna, Atreyu, and All that Remains. Hell ya this tour is gonna kick ass. Idon't give a f*** what yall say,this tour is gonna kick ass. And if it is Godsmack then HELL YA, that makes it even better for me to go and see.
OZZFEST HERE I COME!!!!

I have to say I am surprised how much metalcore there is on the main stage. This year's lineup is definitely a step backawards from last year. I thought 2005 was good and diverse after a metalcore-heavy second stage in 2004. Two nu-metal era bands and Lacuna Coil (talented as they may be) and Hatebreed do not make an appealing main stage for me at all though. Considering Avenged Sevenfold are about the right caliber to fill the middle-slot vacancy on the main stage, it doesn't look good. Classic metal and Swedish metal are both under-represented or absent and there's not even a token Black metal band either... I will probably still go if I have friends going, but I am definitely underwhelmed by the lineup overall.
Writer/Reviewer
Wow....
SYL and BLS are the only "true" metal bands on this one....I think SYL deserves some of the exposure though, they've been at it for 12+ years and are only now starting to get publicity....
And while I can't call these bands metal in the purest sense, Soad and Lacuna Coil are at least engaging live acts....A far cry from favorite bands of mine BUT... they really give 100% live.
Unearth and Bleeding Thru will bring the metal-nubies and mallcore crowd.....But theres not enough BIG names on this years lineup....
Ozzfest is probably only going to get lukewarm pre-sales unless the unannounced act is someone well known like Godsmack, Slayer, Deftones, Tool(have their own touring plans so don't count on it) or Marilyn Manson...Hey! I didn't say I like Manson just that he's still a big draw....All those bands have pending album releases so it's at least plausable.
You people that say that it's be cool if Metallica took the slot are really stupid. Their manager already squashed that. They're doing festivals over seas and recording their new album. That was just so damn annoying. I really don't care for SOAD, and I don't really want to see them. The music isn't bad but the vox get old after awhile! I'm probably going to get ragged on for that but I don't give a sh**.
from the rumors this year, i thought this years ozzfest was going to blow ass, i thought it was going to be some "bullsh**-pander-to-radio-fest", but the majority are really f***ing good, although im extremely p***ed that f***ing SOAD is on the tour, THEY f***ING BLOW MONKEY NUTS. all i have to say is SOAD better play alot of their old sh**, or they should get booed of the f***ing stage cuz their new sh** sucks so f***ing much

Ok post 7,10,14,16,17,19,27 since you are the same person and can't stay under 1 nic it proves you are in hiding. I have listened to Bleeding Through's new cd and I almost slit my wrist after I was done. I would rather put a cat and dog in a blender at least I could tolerate that noise. I myself will vote for their new cd at the sh**tiest cd of the year. You think you know SO much about music huh? SO please tell me a thing or two then. My guess is the way you are bashing Slayer and Anthrax you are barely 18 if that. SO please since I have at least 15 years on you leave the knowledge of music to me. So take your a$$ back to Hot Topic and hang out with all your little poser buddies or go write a blog about your love of mallcore music but before you talk sh** to people KNOW your roll in life. And 1 more thing Lamb of god sucks? After listening to them over and over and over I tend to agree they get old after awhile. BUT Slipknot the "most intense band live" ummm I did enough bashing for 1 day. Later Korn fans.

for all you people who are saying that this lineup is horrible, 6 of the bands were on SOTU last summer, and i bet you were saying how much that lineup kicked as$, just like i was. so dont give me this sh** about how bad this lineup is. it definitly isnt the greatest lineup ever but damn, give some of these bands their respect. walls of jericho has an amazing lead singer, she deserves respect for what she has accomplished. and bleeding through is amazingly talented. they take in heavy metal, black metal, death metal, hardcore and punk and makes great music. i prolly wont go but im not gonna bash on them. these are good bands. you bashers are what gives metal a bad name.

I have to agree with metalthekid. I was thinking the same thing. But I wasn't impressed with SOTU's lineup last year. I would have loved to go to it, but it seemed to have an excess of metalcore. For all the b****ing and griping last year's Ozzfest had a great lineup. Not the best, but very good and very well rounded, unlike this one.
that unknown band that they r announcing on may 23 is probably gay a$$ avenged sevenfold. although if i had a few bucks the day ozzfest is in my town i might just get a lawn ticket and go just to see unearth, syl, norma jean, bls, and hatebreed but then i would leave after that.
ITS YOU (IM STUCK IN THE 80'S METAL SCENE) p***yS THAT CAN ONLY TALK sh** CUZ YOU CANT LIVE WITH THE FACT THAT TODAYS METAL IS BETTER...ILL BE IN THE HARDCORE PIT IN CHI-TOWN, COME GET SOME ON THE 2ND STAGE WITH SOME f***IN HARDCORE POUNDIN YOU p***yS!!! FULL BLOWN CHAOS AND BREED WILL OWN ALL!!!!!!!!!!! \m/
I'm going to the one in Chicago and the one at Alpine for the hell of it. I just love music, but I think last years line-up was better with a few exceptions like Wicked Wisdom (who I didn't see thank god) and I didn't like Gizmachi. Soilwork kicked a$$ though! HELL YEAH!!! They need to come back to america! \m/
Yer Ozzfest this year does blow but only in comparison to unholy allegiance OOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHH YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHH SLAYER AND LAMB OF GOD AND CHILDREN OF BODOM!!!!!!!!!! but yer id only go to ozzfest for ozzy black label and STRAPPING YOUNG LAD who are by far a trillion times better than all that f***n try hard "mallcore" as u yanks call it i prefer STUPID LITTLE PRICK MUSIC WHO TRY TO MAKE HEAVY MUSIC BUT NEED TO DRESS LIKE 14 YEAR OLD EMO f***S JUST TO MAKE FRIENDS all those bands blow c*** bigtime and need to grow balls and stop flowin with the trends since thats all they are trend bands like when hair metal came with the good bands like skid row motley ect came cinderella extreme ratt warrent ect ect they all were cashing in on the trend and is why that died out which makes me happy coz all that bullsh** will die out soon and same as always the true metal will be left standing strong. f*** your little teeny bopper emo rock bands and start listening to some Nile, deicide, napalm death, nailbomb, emporer, burzum ect ect ....little immature c***s.
Thats why ozzfest this year blows but props to shannon for knowing how to cash in on the feeble minded, its not hard when you got f***wits like those bands and their fans to wipe your arse with.
Im actually p***ed off strapping are going to ozzfest and arnt on the unholy tour maybe they were touring those places and thought it would be a good oportunity to show the little b****es what real metal is.
OMG post 60 do you know me, do you know what bands i was into in the 80's, i dont think so, i actually went to many Venom, Death, Sacred Riech, Death Angel, Heathen, Morbid Angel, Slayer, Napalm Death gigs in that period, it is called sarcasm, i was taking the piss out of the line up, and as for todays metal being better in my opinion i dont think it is
it f***ing sucks ass, only what, 4 or 5 good bands?
where the f*** is the black and death metal?!
this is just to speak my mind, but what the f***ing hell is with everything being so called "mallcore" theres no f***ing such "genre". there is only good metal and sh** metal. you people can ridicule me for this, but its the sad truth. there is no such genre as mallcore.
they neglected to mention anything about BLOODSIMPLE!....ozzfest is about new and legendary talents. Not who will draw the bigger crowds. Its obvious they went and got big names for this purpose. I mean...what the f***..where is opeth? chimaira? MACHINE f***IN HEAD!...i mean seriously...get a clue...pass the word....tippen for dime....
Sounds like an excellent tour (taking the music back)
the bands worth seeing:
Hatebreed (Hardcore's saviours)
All That Remains (bring on the old school)
Strapping Young Lad (yes yes yes!)
The Red Chord (grind-hardcore band goal is to push the extremes of aggressive!!!)
Black Label Society (Zakk Wylde on guitar and vocals nuff said!)
Between The Buried and Me (they are something like technically-progressive-death-metalcore?)
What did you guys expect? How many Metal bands would have agreed to be a part of this fest after the stunt she pulled up last year? That Geriatric -Delinquent Sharon almost incited a riot last year..sabotaging the set of a legendary band [hats off, Iron Maiden for persevering].Throwing objects at Iron Maiden and calling Bruce a Monkey Boy won't get you a better line up, c*nt! Am I glad or what that Slayer isn't participating in HER fest. And here's news for you all, I cracked the May23rd surprise. It's going to be Sharons daughter singing 'Papa don't preach' after Ozzy as usual messes up his set. f**k Sharon and oh yeah, f**k that rubber rodent decapitating mumbling idiot.

I think I will save my money and avoid this one. I have seen Btbam including this coming up Thursday 4 times in the past 6 months. There are better shows at smaller venues that can make up for missing this tour. Sotu is prolly the show to see this year. I will give it up to Btbam for finally landing a bigger gig than the little sh** holes I have seen them at.

ok, let me go over this list and state my opinion as a decent metal loving citizen. ehem.. HOLY sh** DUDE!! this sux so bad. i haaaate SOAD and the fact that they are going to headline the fest is so f***ing stupid of ozzy. poor guy, all fried in his late 50's, now he cant even think streight about what bands to putt in the next ozzfest. it makes me sad..(crying with extreme emotion) ok, i hate strapping young lad and lacuna coil bc, well, they suck...i wish theyd get peeps like dimmu borgir and zombie for another show. cant say much about korn ne more bc they suck now and days with their new albumb, but then again you could say the same damn thing with disturbed.. bc their new albumb is so f***ing stupid i dont even know where to start. the only person i can go and see and kind of enjoy at this ballfest is Zak wildes BLS. thats it!!! ozzy, you need to figure things out and get some decent bands up there! i mean i know zombie has really downtoned his music with the new band and all, but im sure you could get him to play some sh** like demonoid phenomanon or somthin. welp, thats all for me.
later F.uckheads
Sry but this was really f***ing annoying while reading AmongTheDead's post. LEARN HOW TO SPELL!!! it's Album not Albumb. And if you're going to refer to someone's name atleast f***1ng spell it right! it's Zakk Wylde a$s hole!!! And have you seen SYL live? I think it's very entertaining and I think just because of the crazy/weird show it makes them better live!
80s >; now
early-mid 90s>;now
true
back then there were thrash thrash thrash and more thrash. black metal had just begun and so did power metal etc.
90s ruled as well cause there was black metal black metal black metal and more black metal
not only black metal but groove metal, thrash, post thrash, and lots of sludge metal etc.
now there is too much screamo bands that people call metal (ie trivum,as i lay dying, bleeding through). everything is too light and emotional. very few good new school bands now. heres a few of the very few good new school bands: mastodon, the berzerker, engine of pain, dark monarchy.
I like the new line up any one that says other wise can kisss my a$$ sure there are other bands I would of rather of had there but you f***in metal head jackasses can go burn in hell if you think other wise and I will laigh at you poor souls as I drive past you sisting on the street corners doing nothing will i play at the ozz fest so GO f*** YOURSELVES WITH A f***IN LOAF OF BREAD YOU f***ING BASTARDS in the words of foamy im gone
any one that got a problem with me I am more than happy to give you my opion
koda102715@yahoo.com
exxcuuuse me Opeth Suck!!! buti thought we were talking about ozzfest here, not the f***ing spelling errors in a comment. i think some people have a little growing up to do and should stick to the subject at hand instead of going off at others for stupid sh** like not putting the extra k in zakk. and fyi, i HAVE seen SYL live and ove got to say, they are one of the worst bands ive ever heard and it was torture seeing them live. even though, yes, their show was a little crazy, they still suck the amount of a$$ that this country provides. so before you go b****ing and moaning about other mistakes i made in spelling, maybe you should go listen to other bands and get some better taste in music. ay?
i agree with AmongTheDead on this one. We should be looking at this problem from a mature view using our knowledge of heavy metal and give our opinion on it. not stomp each other in the ground on stupid things like spelling. but i will have to disagree with you on the SYL live preformence. I for one, have seen them live and loved them. infact. thats when i really started to like them, when i seen them live. but in other words, i dont really agree with the line up on this year, but like Asistant Suicide stated, we shouldnt hate it just because of the bands that we dont like on it, we should enjoy it because ozzy isnt going to be here that much longer, and i think he would appreciate it if we would give these bands a shot at blowing our f***ing minds out at the fest. just look at it like WWOD....What Would Ozzy Do?
i would have to agree with the line up could have been better than this. i have only missed 3 ozzfests. and we are going to skip this one. they are not even coming to pittsburge. and i not going to pay $96.00 to got to ny. whats up with not going to pittsburge they have been there every year. sorry sharron you just lost out on one of your biggest fan basses. and for ozzy to only play 10 shows why even bother. we should no now who the band is not after we pay good money for tickets and its another sucky band. I LOVE DISTURBED but i rather see them is a smaller venue like i did this summer, sorry guys see ya next time around.
I wish they'd get zombie for another run. but then again after listening to "foxy, foxy" off of his new album, maybe its best he stay away from the metal scene and stick to where ever he is for now. becuase that was a major dissapointment. and i think he owes it to every zombie fan to do something else more metal like. anyone have comments about "Educated Horses"?

Walls of Jericho-?
All That Remains-good
Between The Buried and Me-ehhhh..
50/50 for me, SOTU HERE I COME!!
Walls of Jericho? Norma Jean? Lacuna Coil? Bleeding Through .... I cannot believe what I am hearing this sh** is garbage. Disturbed and system of a down are the big suprises for the main(stream) stage... come on where is children of bodom, soulfly or cradle of filth. Hatebreed would'nt look as bad if they had a better supporting cast on this stage.............. annnnd back to the 2nd stage. Atreyu, f*** yeah until I gave deathgrip on yesterday a listen, pure emo sh**, go back to the warped tour if you're going to put out an album like that. A life once lost, unearth and all that remains is the best its going to get here, although I would of prefered still remains, the agony scene, haste the day, chimaira and/or lamb of god along side them on the 2nd stage. The Red Chord, whatever, through the eyes of the dead would of been a better death metal choice. It seems as though most of decent bands some of us wanted to see here have been picked up by other tours (sounds, unholy, etc) so f*** this lame fest and lets talk about SOTU 2
The only thing that can save this tour is the mystery band must be a great one. Every year there is a great supporting act with ozzy such as Maiden and Priest. There must be an ald school legendary status band because there is enough hardcore bands. I believe that the most awesome mystery band that it could be is TesTamenT, that would be SOOOO F U C K I N G awesome! Do u guys not agree???
This lineup is sh**. Last year's lineup was so great what the hell happened? Disturbed? WHAT!? On main stage!?!?? Since when did Nu-metal bullsh** get to play on Ozzfest. OOH WAH AH AH AH! f*** you guys. That's the worst band ever next to Linkin Park. I'm surprised to see Strapping Young Lad among the mix...what a huge contrast from all those other bands. Hatebreed, Ozzy, SYL, and Unearth. I'd be hanging out at the concession stands except to see those bands. I'm not goin this year. NothingGraceful: I don't want Testament to have the misfortune of playing next to Disturbed.
jeez, you people could whine about anything, huh? Well, some of you.
Yeah, last year was better, and '04 was legendary, but it doesnt look so bad. i think SOAD's passable, so is Atreyu, even though i'd far prefer something like Anthrax, Metallica, or even some more Black/ProgBlack metal (opeth deserves a big name tour). Hell, i kind of liked A7X's City of Evil, it's not very hard, not very fast, but it's got an attitude, and their hearts are in the right place. i bet they'd do fine live. i know for a fact that Lacuna Coil live is in-f***ing-credible, and only scenester music elitist 'poseurs' (read:whining, quite possibly self-mutilating emo slaves to the thirftstore fashion gestapo) could possibly have anything negative to say aobut the sheer power LC puts into thier live sets.
maybe the rest of you could think of how worse it could be, huh? That mystery band could be, like, Queen with Paul Rodgers, how much would THAT suck? If they were REALLY selling out, we'd see Ozzy Osbourse with bloody Fallout Boy.
all of you whiners, count your blessings. personally, i'm going to unholy alliance AND ozzfest, so nyah.
The mainstage is gonna be pretty kick ass... the only good bands on the second stage... in my opinion... are BLS ans Strapping Young Lad... I respect the other bands... but eh... nothin' that totally blows me away... and the special guest band... didn't they say it was going to be a band that has been on the 2nd stage before? So... it should be limited to that list... heh... hopefully its a "good" band...
\m/
not great, but at least there's no crazy town or velvet revolver or wicked wisdom type band, one that just stands out and screams TERRIBLE IDEA.
i'd be way more p***ed about the lineup if mallcore wasn't so popular. can't blame them for appealing to the only fanbase that can afford ozzfest prices.
i think one thing we can all agree on is that this fest is gonna be the worst... but then again, the bands are usualy voted for before this sh** even starts. so its really the peoples fualt for this mess of a show. so we should really blame them and vote for better bands next time. i mean i like BLS and Ozzy, but this show really does suck the cheese right out of metal music's nut sack. i think when they realize how many people dont show up at the fest, they might think twice about who to put in it for 2007.
it's not surprising this lineup sucks d*** after the iron maiden travesty last year... no one wants to play at a show where the bands get treated like that. so as a result, the osbournes have to settle for a largely sh**ty lineup of bands desperate for publicity but not worth seeing. the only bands i'd care to see are full blown chaos, bleeding through and SOAD... but even though i've thrown down for pit tix the last 3 years, i'll save my 160 bucks this year and go to sounds of the underground. it's just a shame chimaira's not playing in north america.

I know that Metallica has kind of tried to put rest to all the rumors that they will be added to this tour...and I've already posted about that issue...but as I was watching the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame inductions tonight...what band got on stage and played Sabbath tunes and inducted the band??? That's right, Metallica. Which band has a former member of Ozzy's band? That's right, Metallica.
Look I know that the chances are slim that they would be on this tour...but I think that fans are dying to support Metallica again. What other band could put out bad CD after bad CD (Load - St. Anger) and still have so much anticipation and buzz about a new record? I'm no blind follower of any band...but I think if they jumped on this tour...it would accomplish a couple of things...one, they would save this year's tour from being mediocre...second, they might be able to re-connect with a lot of fans that they have lost over the last 10 years. Anyway, I just had these thoughts as I watched them play for Black Sabbath.
This is the best ozzfest line up ever. Every year all those stupid bands like iron maiden and rob zombie are on ozzfest. Now theres A life once lost,norma jean, f***ing bleeding through.The only bands that suck are Disturbed, Lacuna Coil, and Strapping Young Lad. The ozzfest is way better than sounds of the underground this year.and who cares if a7x are on ozzfest. Even though they sold out the still kick ass
i never liked a7x and iron maiden is great id rather see them then any of the bands on this years ozzfest
and it would be kinda ironic if metallica got the spot because they toured with ozzy on the master of puppets tour and that was like there kick start so hopefuly if they get the spot this will kick start them to a good record well we will find out the band tomarrow please be metallica
Last year I saw Unearth twice and SYL on the amazing Fear Factory Transgression Tour. They both rock and I'd love to see em again, but they are honestly the only two bands I get excited about at all in this lineup. So I dunno, doesn't seem to good to me, but maybe it's because I personally find bands like Disturbed and SOAD to be more unintentionally hillarious (well, ok. SOAD can be truly funny as well) than rocking. I wish there was more swedish metal here, like Soilwork and In Flames last year (them n Cannibal Corpse are the only reasons I'd be psyched about SOTU, actually). I just got to see Kreator and Napalm Death and it was an amazing show. If y'all get the chance to go out to wither of those bands' shows, go quickly. R GO SEE FALLOUT BOY N HAWTHORNE HEIGHTS!!!!!!!!!!!!1!!!!!1!!1 omG!!!!
Ozzfest just released that there is going to be a mystery band on the 2nd stage too. I think they realized that they lost a lot of people and need to find someone that will get the metal heads back. I hate there's f***ing mystery bands! Just let us f***ing know so that we can buy the damn tickets if we want them. F U C K!!!
this years ozzfest is a f***ing disappointment. i dont care what anyone says all metalcore bands suck big floppy donkey d***. i would never give any metalcore band the time of day to even sample a track. its terrible, its garbage. f*** the trends! anyone who likes metalcore is brainwashed by hot topic.
Main Stage --------
Ozzy - Most likely not playing in Indiana
System of a Down - OVER-rated as hell...definitely shouldn't be headling over Disturbed
Disturbed - The Sickness kicked ass, Believe was decent, Ten Thousand Fists kicks ass. David Draiman is f***ing great.
Hatebreed - f*** yes! I'm kinda surprised they're on main stage but I'm glad to see it.
Lacuna Coil - Decent music, Christina Scabbia looking hot as hell makes em worth seeing though I suppose.
Second stage -------
Black Label Society - Zakk Wylde kicks a$$ on guitar, not a major fan of his vocals though.
Atreyu - Atreyu is incredible live. Everyone gives em sh** but seeing them live will change some opinions.
Unearth - They're decent, nothing special about them though.
Bleeding Through - Good band, don't know why so many complaints about em.
Norma Jean - Never got into them, they're alright though I guess
Strapping Young Lad - Never seen em live but I'm lookin forward to it.
Between the Buried and Me - This band puts on a great show.
Don't know enough about any of the others on the tour to judge em fairly.
Anyways, this isn't the best lineup we've ever seen but it's not nearly as bad as a lot of people are making it sound.

well heres my opinion...
Ozzfest has its good years and its ok years, because there r always bands i like, as a matter of fact i cant think of very many metal bands i dont like. Metallica could be the mystery band, because there really not supposed to tell anyone that they will be there so they could tell people they r definitely not going to be there. People who were protecting slayer and anthrax awhile ago in this forum were right to protect them as they r great bands, but some people might just like the heavy vocals more than the older singing, when they discouraged the growling and all of that. soad is an ok band, not ozzfest material....and disturbed is one of my favorite, i saw them live and they were awesome. most of the main stage bands r mainstage material but they just dont go right when put together. bls is on the second stage because headlining the second stage is a greater honor than opening up the main stage or even being second or third slot on the main stage (remember rob zombie last year? they asked him to play main stage but he refused). this lineup is decent but i was looking forward to bands like dark tranquility, children of bodom, behemoth, dimmu borgir, cradle of filth, and melodic death/black metal bands like that. if megadeth is the mystery band i will sh** my pants because they kick ass. avenged sevenfold is strongly rumored to be the mystery band, but i really hope not, even if their old stuff is decent. now for the people who bomb on sharon and ozzy.....i disagree that it was bullsh** that sharon unplugged maiden. it was ozzys tour and maiden was trying to play past the time they were given to play which was about an hour and a half when i went to ozzfest 2005 in pa....plenty of time to put on a great show they dont need anymore than that. ozzy started heavy metal, so if u love all these bands as much as u guys say u do, then u should like ozzy as he influenced many of the bands on this bill, most likely every single one of them. so u should be mad at iron maidens lead singer for treating ozzy like crap and making him feel bad through the whole tour saying his sound system sucked and he wouldnt even talk to ozzy. i kno that ozzfest isnt the greatest tour around, but id rather go to ozzfest than to the unholy alliance tour mainly cuz theres not as many bands playing. id love to see slayer and lamb of god...and children of bodom but oh well. u just watch ozzfest isnt very good this year, but next year when the right awesome bands come out with albums, they will be on the ozzfest 07 tour.
well, its sad when ozzy has to steal last years sotu lineup to a T for second stage and even some of warped tours headlineres but it happens...i like this years lineup better than last year, its gonna be full energy with a mainstage of bands people like for once...i mean lets all admit last year was crap...this year showcases the best nu metal bands out right now, and the best metal core/hxc bands...we dont need a lineup of speed death metal to please the masses despite word on the message boards
im sick of all you hot topic metal heads...ozzfest every year is full of the bands that play the years "popular" style of rock...u mean to tell me that when adema,soad,and drowning pool played it wasnt during the peak of nu metal? these metal core and hardcore bands are on the tour becasue tahts whats making the money this year...and the purpose of a tour is ultimately to make money...so suck it up, pay the 40 dollars for lawn seats and watch the bands...none of which are bad btw...
as for the mystery bands? im assuming a7x for the main stage because there not on warped this year like they always are...and they were offered a ozzfest slot way back....and second stage could be nebody, im shooting for either children of bodom or bullet for my valentine
why is everyone so mad at each other? i havent been to an ozzfest yet because i finally turned 13 and am allowed to go, but this year looks cool. i see all these bands on fuse and hbb and i like them all...but im mad that korn, chevelle, linkin park, and godsmack arent on the tour...that would be really cool. ..and btw
SLAYER SUCKS!!!
if ozzy isnt coming to your show, complain to his ass,
ozzy osbourne

trust me this is right, i heard shron on tv say she lived on doheny rd. and if you check out mapquest.com it leads you straight there instead of some post office
Member
hot topic metalheads? wtf? last year kicked this years a$$ zombie, maiden, mudvayne, in flames, arch enemy, shadows fall, and soilwork are f***ing awesome bands and now that sabbath isnt playing every show its not even ozzfest anymore. soad has turned into pop rock now, and disturbed is as awesome as ever, but i already saw them. i saw linkin park and korn in 2004 so that wouldnt be as good as it might have been a couple years ago. btw, death metal and black metal are much quicker and heavier, and require more technacality plus they actually have melody.....if i were to make a tour it wouldnt be to make money it would be to please the crowd
A7X are in fact sh** emo (now) and hopefully won't be on ozzfest this year making it even worse.... wishful thinking on COB, but their interests lie elsewhere (unholy).... in flames would also be awesome, but they are already spoken for (sounds) so lets all hope that after SOUNDS europe CHIMAIRA returns to bring some real metal to the already lacking thereof ozzfest lineup
I was planning to go to the great Ozzfest this year for the first time...always heard about it and have an opportunity now...well..I went through the line-up and heard their music and I have no wish to trash them but I must say I have changed my mind about going. I am old-school..Ozzies generation ..and this type of metal just doesn't speak to me. I guess I got rock and metal confused 'cuz I always thought Sabbath rocked ...so I will just keep on rocking...sans Ozzfest !!!!
OZZFEST is stilll cool to go get drunk at , but getting tooo expensive and sorry to say ozzy is getting played out , theres a few bands that R cool , Lacuna coil i've benn wanting to see , BLS and Disturbed , BUT The Sounds Of The Underground Tour is What I'm looking forward to especially DEVILDRIVER ,

hey pots heads that just keep saying suck this and f that, get real kids, most of you were not even born when this bands where around.
besides most of you go to this concerts to smoke pot and see tits for free, grow up.
Ozzfest with or without metallica still a great event to see, a fest is like the word says a mix of everything to enjoy and shut up!!!!!!
METAL UP YOUR A$$ KIDOS

real needs to see the real picture that ozzfest sux now, the only thing that can save it is an amazin mystery band other then that its gonna suck, only 2 bands (SYL and BLS) that i would pay to see live, ozzy i doubt he can put up a good live performance and i like unearth and hatebreed but i wouldnt pay to see them, soad is a good band but they arnt metal and dont belong and also fall under the category of hatebreed and unearth, disturbed had one good album and definatly dont belong
I don't understand why everyone hates this lineup. Bleeding Through, Norma Jean, and Strapping Young Lad put on amazing shows. I also think that Cannibal Corpse should be one of the mystery bands. They just put out a new cd and are going to need to tour it. That would be amazing. I do have to say, though, that Slayer's new tour with Lamb of God, Children of Bodom, and Mastodon will be the most metal tour in the history of the world.
when will all of you phony metal heads realize that the greatest rock star needs to headline the mainstage at this and every future ozzfest--- im talkin bout the hulkster baby- HULK HOGAN
and his daughter could headline the second stage!!!!!!!! YYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSS
SOTU 2 blows every summer tour out of the water (besides unholy). With: as i lay dying, in flames, black dahlia murder, through the eyes of the dead, trivium cannibal corpse and gwar already on board and variously rumored to include possibly: MACHINE HEAD (f*** yes), god forbid, cradle of filth (ohhh sh**), devildriver and silent civilian, you're not going to want to miss this one.

She smiles to me and answers short
"I got our neighbour in my pan"
Sputter supper

Oh, he tastes good, feels fine for me
I want more food, I'm starving you see
"Darling," she says,"you get a sweet"
"I caught that child from the third floor"

Now I'm so full what a delicious dish
You're the best wife, I have no more to wish
You're feeding me great from day to day
And all our neighbours go away
My loved man it makes me happy
When you say good things about my cooking

Tomorrow I'll do a good dinner too
I'll try to catch our now janitor for...
Sputter supper
Sputter supper
i wish pungent stench was the mystery band :''' (
i already know who the mystery band is because i work for the "we need to make Ozzfest suck this year" team" and we've decided that Papa Roach is going to be on the mainstage, So this includes another reason why you shouldnt go to ozzfest BUT who knows maby there be a suprise like a Blink 182(gayest band in music history) reunion or even bettter lets replace the 10 ozzy dates with a7x YA
im just f***in around but who knows dont be suprised if OZZFEST gets even worse than it already is
well people obiously opinions differ very broadly, most of the bands in my opinion are ok i guess. but see they put all the gay bands on main stage, that are so old that they cant walk further, ozzy's old, lacuna coil is retarded lets have a girl sing! goodidea NOT, disturbed is rock, soad is gay used to be good but they let the media get to them, and hatebreed used to be really f**king heavy but jamey jastas voice gets annoying a lot after a while. the seconds stage is quite amazing for metalcore bans like All that REMAINS, unearth, bleeding through, atreyu, norma jean, THE RED CHORD. well pretty much the bands that i like on there are all that remains, norma jean, the red chord, unearth and hell all of the rest.
I'll pass this year.
weak line up
1999 OZZFEST was the absolute best concert ive ever been to... go look up th eline up!
went two other years it was good.
this line up is crap.
Where is...
SLAYER, ROB ZOMBIE, METALLICA, TESTAMENT, MANSON, KORN, CRADLE OF FILTH, CHILDREN OF BODOM, MEGADEATH, PRIMUS....
get RAGE to reunite adn come onboard....
what headliners are there, *AND* NO MORE OZZY?
I knwo the man is getting old, and has been having a hell of a hardtime
but I still screamed and jumped and put ym lighter int he air when he did his thing barely jumbling the words to each song and ranting adn clapping and putting his all in it.
i mean ok he's not into it anymore fair enoguh... but then get a MASSIVE SET OF HEADLINERS to make up for it... not a bunch of no names or so-so's
Disturbed wis great live in my oppinion, but they have no proper support on this tour to amke it worth $100!
Member
dude u guys suck ozzfest isnt that bad this year....ozzy puts his all in his performances and still rocks after 40 years, i mean sure it could have been a hell of a lot better but all the good bands r already on tour so lets just enjoy what bands r on ozzfest this year and look forward for next year!
Member
dude hugh g. that would kick ass. and metalhead its true, metallica might be hiding the fact that they r going to play ozzfest, because they rnt supposed to tell people that they r playing. just because anthrax is playing gigantour doesnt mean it cant be them, they might play the first half of the tour. but my favorite concerts this summer r dowlnload uk 06 (guns n roses, metallica, tool, cradle of filth, arch enemy, bloodsimple, trivium, and many more) and wacken 06 (motorhead, children of bodom, nevermore, amon amarth, six feet under, finntroll, opeth, soilwork, emperor, fear factory) those r just the bands i kno there r over 80 more at download and 40 more at wacken....too bad they both r held in the uk

Girlie from Calgary, Alberta, Canada. I can't believe the frickin whiners. Canada would kill to have a metal line up festival like this. What do we get? Bryan Adams and Tom Cochrane, or if we're lucky Nickelback and Tragically Hip. Or maybe 50 cent if he doesn't get stopped at the border. Y'all are taking for granted that you live so close to a fantastic metal scene. My 3 girlfriends, and MY MOTHER, are travelling to San Fran for the show! Thats 25 hours away driving! So suck it up, if it wasn't for satellite tv and radio, we wouldn't even have a clue who these bands are, and we wouldn't be coming down to support your sorry excuse of an economy! And the logical prediction would be Korn wouldn't it?
Hey Hugh why would they put the Black Dahila Murder on the main stage?!?! They are not nearly good enough to be on the main stage. I personally don't think they're a very good band. I definitely see them playing on the second stage if they did play their. You should switch that our with Machine Head, now that would be bad ass!!!

Main stage is a suckfest, lacuna coil is o..kay..I guess. 2nd stage is a little better. Basically this "festival" is overcharged piece of crap. Are they picking bands out of a hat? Seriously though, ozfest is a dead. My guess is that the mystery band is H.I.M for some reason I really feel sharon would pick them. Like I said its a guess!
In a post that was quickly deleted by Dave Mustaine on the MEGADETH Message Board, the following was posted:
Droogies!
I am very, very, VERY happy to announce that I have finally decided on the final line-up for this year's Gigantour! I know you Droogs have been going ape-sh** with lists and such, and I have been paying attention! And as you all know, I found God recently as well. In the past, I did something stupid; I refused to play on the same bill as a band of current devil worshipers. It was a foolish thing to do, and as of now, I am now putting that behind me! Regardless or religion, I have picked this year's Gigantour line-up of the best of the best! Yeah, a lot of other bands are tied up with other tours and such, but this is going to be a great tour!
Main Stage:
MEGADETH
VENOM
ANTHRAX
DIAMOND HEAD
Second Stage:
OVERKILL
TESTAMENT
AMEN
This is going to be a great tour and I and the rest of the bands can't wait to see you on The Killing Road!
MSGD!
are you bullsh**ting SEVENCHURCHES, because it looks like a pretty kick a$$ line up , but if it was deleted, what if you just made it all up and so we cant go to the message board to see for our selves, because someone said that about ozzfest this year and he said it was deleted quikly to, but he was all bullsh**
Member
haha chester u r a p***y. and dontreadthis those r good bands but system of a down isnt a good band anymore, they used to actually be ok. disturbed is a good band but id rather it be someone else cuz i already saw them. dude the only thing that will save this lineup is a GOOD black metal band or a real death metal band.
Wacken and download will kick all other tours outta the water
download: Metallica, Guns n Roses, TOOL, Cradle of Filth, Korn, Arch Enemy, Trivium etc...
Wacken: Finntroll, Fear Factory, Emperor, Chimaira....they only let REAL metal bands on that tour
but some bands i really look forward to seeing live r Marduk, Zyklon, Dimmu Borgir, Arch Enemy (again, saw them at ozzfest 05), and there r just so many more....

haha, this is what ozzfest should look like

If MCR is on ozzfest I will shoot sharon in the face, C'mon dude they are a p***y prep-rock band and shouldn't be as popular as they already are. If you want great tunes listen to all of these bands. Black sabbath-Metallica-AC/DC-Godsmack-Rob zombie-Fireball Ministry-Pantera-Nirvana-H.I.M.-Slayer-Megadeath-Clutch-69 eyes-Skid Row-and so many more you narowminded f***s probably don't even know about.
This would be the best ozzfest ever
Main Stage-
Ozzy
Pantera (have Zakk Wylde play guitar)
Black Label Society (if Pantera doesn't show or something)
Metallica
Slayer
Second Stage-
Godsamck
Rob Zombie
Anthrax (definitly main stage matierial but I think this just works better)
H.I.M.
Fireball Ministry
(My Band)
I just had an awsome idea! Imagine if MCR actually got Ozzfest and they stepped on stage in front of 8,000 sreaming metalheads and just got trampled and eaten alive. HAHAHA kickass \m/
Member
Ozzfest was dead years ago.....it's corporate bullsh** now. Besides who wants to go after the bullsh** Sharon pulled last year??? True Bruce d***inson didn't need to blast Ozzy...but he's got a point. Is Ozzy just gonna sing the same old sh** day after day year after year?????
And don't put Metallica on the bill unless they apologize and disown every CD after .....And Justice for All
Dude Ozzy's gonna sing the same thing because that "same thing" is what started metal and still rules metal to this day, and Metallica's albums are ALL kickass from kill 'em all to st.anger to whatever their next album is gonna have on it, metallica has ten time the skill of any Rock/Metal band from the last ten years. Dumbass
