Ozzy Osbourne's famous Ozzfest will see it's return this year when it kicks off in August. As predicted, Ozzy himself will headline the event, along with co-headliners Motley Crue. Also performing on the main stage will be Judas Priest frontman Rob Halford, Devildriver and Nonpoint.
The second stage of the event will be headlined by Black Label Society, led by former Ozzy Osbourne guitarist Zakk Wylde. Other bands confirmed for the second stage include Drowning Pool, Kingdom Of Sorrow, Goatwhore, Skeletonwitch, Saviours and Kataklysm.
Each OzzFest date will include 13 bands on two stages with music beginning at 1:00 PM. In addition, concert-goers can once again visit the OZZFest “Village of the Damned” featuring a mix of interactive activities, shopping and entertainment throughout the venue concourses.
The initial Ozzfest 2010 tour dates are as follows:
August 14 - San Bernardino, CA - San Manuel Amphitheater
August 17 - Chicago, IL - First Midwest Bank Amp.
August 19 - Pittsburg, PA - First Niagara Pavilion
August 21 - Hartford, CT - Comcast Theater
August 22 - Camden, NJ - Susquehanna
August 24 - Boston, MA - Comcast Center
UPDATE: In this video, they say that Ozzfest "has been scaled back to about six cities," so these dates may in fact be the complete and final tour dates.

^^^^ What the f*** are you on the 2nd stage looks sick Kingdom Of Sorrow, Goatwhore, Skeletonwitch, Saviours, Kataklysm, BLS, Rob Halford That is the best line up they have had in years. Montley cru sucks live and the others are ok. 7 good bands 3 ok bands and 1 bad band = Best line up they have had in years. Usally its the other way around.
maybe this is a good thing. the second stage looks great, and with less bandsit means the show isnt going to start at 9 in the morning. DD, goatwhore, kataklysm, skeletonwitch, KOS are all great bands, and ive yet to here Saviours. if tickets are cheap i might just go
Judas f***ing Priest.
Devildriver is gonna have badass pits, no doubt, they always do.
Goatwhore is currently my favorite live band...ben falgoust is the sh**.
Skeletonwitch is one of the most unappreciated thrash bands out right now...excuse, me, most unappreciated power/black/thrash/death/viking metal bands out right now.
Kataklysm is great live...that is all....
And Motley Crue means there will be milfs and titties everywhere. Anyone who is opposed to titties needs to shutup and die. In no particular order.
Mayhem and Blackdiamondskye are the tix I will be purchasing. I can't believe it took them so long to announce this sh** lineup with 6 dates. I've already seen Sabbath twice, Judas Priest, and BLS. It would be cool to see Devildriver but not to worried about it. I wouldn't go even if they did come through Atlanta. Totally agree with Post #2 f***ing Failfest

Its a decent lineup, mayhem is way better.
depending on ticket prices and the fact that im from San Francisco so its an 8 hour f***ing drive to san bernadino thanks to ozzy's lazy f***ing fat ass!!! he shoulda done way more tour dates for ozzfest.
maybe lawn tix are the way to go for this, its not worth no 100 dollar ticket to see ozzy shake up close

We do it all here in the states oz....we ve launched ozzy's, russell brand, david beckham, and the dutchess of york (fergie) career's sky high....so any time you wanna go hollywood oz come on over....im sure rolling stone and or tmz would love to have you....we love the uk.....cheers
My point being they'd all be stars here, their own country. Ozzy never brings Ozzfest here so the "He needs to start showing the U.S. more respect" quote is ridiculous. Ozzy made his name in Black Sabbath, who had chart success here before they did in the States. David Beckham is perhaps the biggest celebrity in Britain and has been for the past 12 years. Russel Brand sells out huge venues here (somehow) so no, the U.S. isn't responsible for Ozzy's success. He may have had alot of success for it, but to give a country credit for it is stupid.
How is the mayhem fest better?
Korn
Rob Zombie
Lamb of God
Five Finger Death Punch
Avenged Sevenfold (July 27 only)
Atreyu
Norma Jean
In This Moment
3 Inches of Blood
Hatebreed
Chimaira
Shadows Fall
Winds of Plague
I also refuse to go because that one date with Avange 7 is the MA date.
besides The United States of America is the greatest God damn country in the world, why wouldnt he wanna play more here. you think with a 14 month tour he could have gotten it right this time. with out america ozzy would be dead in the streets of england, he did not have very much success til they came to America because of the old brittish mindset. right now i feel ozzy is nothing but a glorified redcoat who is just pissing off the people who have supported him for years. And if england nd europe is so great why dont he live there?
once again, I stress...
KATAKLYSM
GOATWHORE
SKELETONWITCH
DEVILDRIVER
HALFORD
How the f*** is that worse than hatebreed in this moment and Korn? Lamb of God, Rob Zombie, and 3 inches of blood are the only bands I MIGHT go for, and that's BIG might.
What the f*** is everyone complaining about? I dont like Drowning pool, nonpoint aint really my cup o tea no more, and I have no idea who Saviours is. Oh, and Kingdom of Sorrow is the same band as Hatebreed anyway, so whether I like Jasta or not, he's gonna be at both concerts anyfookingway. Other than that? What the f*** is anyone complaining about? If Motley Crue gives you problems, I reiterate my point in post 11...TITS. BOOBS. BREASTS OF MANY WHITE WOMEN. In Conclusion....Big Honkers.

Im not seeing the ozzfest bill being better than the mayhem fest bill...mainstage sucks,(OF) excluding non point and driver......idk for me its no comparison....there's not 1 band on the ozzfest bill that pumps me up to go...
LOG and Zombie are awesome live, and hatebreed has some sick pits.....not buying it
Well there are only these 6 dates!! Thanks alot Ozzy!! Yep wonderful. Hitting sooooo many big cities that have supported you lo' these many years. (did i just say lo' ??). I could drive from Detroit to Chicago to see it but whats the point, why should I put the effort in and waste gas since you dont want to bother with coming here. Could do the same going to Pittsburgh but screw it. Im sure im not the only that feels this way. Well fellow Detroiters, see ya at Mayhem!!! That will be a blast. Have fun at Ozzfest all the few cities that get it, give him our love. Btw I did see the story on many other sites saying that these were the only dates so not just pulling that outta the air. Rock on everyone! ..k done rambling and b****ing now.
Hey cookie... While you're being a complete douche bag, go ahead and take the time to look up at the top of this story (as in who wrote it). *waits a minute for cookie to catch up with the rest of society* Now that you see how fvcking stupid you are please find your way to the nearest 500 foot cliff and jump off of it. Thank you.
I f***ing agree with BG1. Americans need to calm the f*** down. When people say they are ignorant, arrogant pricks, they aren't joking! I am not trying to piss off you guys, I ams ure many of you are nice people, but that guy isn't helping your image to the rest of the world at all. Anyways, Halford, Skeletonwitch and Devil Driver would be bad@$$ to see. The rest is mehish for me. Just my opinion. Peace, love and Death Metal! /,,/

Anytime I hear somebody whine about "today's youth", I can't help but get pretty annoyed. Kids and adolescents can be sh**heads, sure. BUT, they are no worse than they were in your youth, and no better than any future generations. Also, youth are immature by definition, the brain generally doesn't fully develop until around age 24, and they haven't experienced as much in life as adults. As for "unemothional" and trashy, you're just making another generalization with no basis whatsoever. You should probably take the "fan" part off of your user name, it would probably be more fitting that way.
Meh, I just think that as adults most people become much more attuned to how stupid teens can be and the false sense of entitlement a lot of us seem to have. I'm already pretty aware of the faults of myself and most of my idiot age group peers, so I doubt I'll be saying "sh**head kids these days" later on down the line. I'll just be saying "sh**head kids", and probably "sh**head adults" about my generation haha.
Anyhooo, yeah, all is well down here. School's about to end and I'll be back to working 40 weeks for the summer, which equals a new amp and new guitars, haha.
How go things wherever you are?

for f***s sake Mayhem Festival aka Poser Festival over this?? naw..Zakk has more Metal in his little pinky compared to all the gay-core, teeny bopper avenge my c***, atreyucks, and all those bullsh** nu-"metal" bands...and In This Moment got f***ing pixie lott fronting them!
oz's #3 post: ROFL!!! i know bro. ur almost nvr wrong lol DD, kataklysm and, even tho they don't belong there at all, nonpoint are all the only things for me but if those are the only dates then i'm obviously screwed. but i don't rlly care after that crappy lineup. even this yr's mayhem fest's lineup is better and that's sad. ozzfest couldn't even live up to the bad lineup of mayhem at least. it will be a FAILfest.
