Ozzfest 2009 Details, And This Year It's Not Free
When MTV News caught up with the Osbournes at the Scream Awards in Los Angeles on Saturday (October 18), they discussed what's in store for Ozzfest's 14th year. Will 2009's festival be free once again like it was in 2007?
"No, don't you know that there's a depression on?" Ozzfest co-producer Sharon Osbourne replied, defiantly. "Are you mad? We're going back to what we originally were. We've given the real good fans a free show for one time, and now, it's back to business as usual."
When pressed for next summer's lineup, she smiled, "We can't tell you now!"
"It's too early. We just got done with the last one," said son Jack Osbourne, who did suggest that the festival's namesake, his father Ozzy, will likely return to anchor the bill.
The one-day Ozzfest 2008 festival, with METALLICA and OZZY OSBOURNE as headliners, was the fourth highest-grossing concert stand in the world so far this year, according to Billboard magazine. The AEG Live-promoted Ozzfest 2008 grossed nearly $3.5 million and almost 30,000 fans got to experience a 13-hour show filled with legends, cutting-edge acts and Ozzfest alumni who ignited three stages at Pizza Hut Park in the hard music-loving state of Texas, including one devoted to the state's bands.
Details for Ozzfest 2009 will be posted on the official website as they are released.

Ozzy rules. His voice is shot. Still love the CD's and DVD's. Will always cherish the memories of the shows I saw.... esp. the nights when he was sounding good. He might be able to do a SHORT set of songs that are in a lower key... to save his voice. I would rather see him do 30 min. good show, than a 75 min. bad show, sounding like a wounded goat.
