Ozzfest 2010 - Line Up And Dates
Last night the line up and dates for this year's line were officially announced. Here's the official press release:
More than 15 years after Ozzy Osbourne debuted Ozzfest, the defining blueprint for hard rock tours and festivals returns this August in six American cities with an explosive bill co-headlined by Ozzy and, in their first-ever Ozzfest appearance, Mötley Crüe ? touring together for the first time with Ozzy since he invited the group on their now legendary 1984 arena tour. Expect the energy to go way off the charts at the all-day extravaganza of music and deranged merriment.
The 2010 Ozzfest - back after taking a year off in 2009 and the 2008 one-off stadium spectacular in Dallas, TX with Ozzy and Metallica headlining - will kick off August 14 in San Bernardino (the birthplace of the first Ozzfest in 1996) and then make stops in Chicago, IL, Hartford, CT, Camden, NJ, Pittsburgh, PA and Boston, MA. Live Nation will promote the tour nationally.
The main stage will feature full sets from Ozzy, Mötley Crüe and Rob Halford (who last appeared on Ozzfest in 2004 with Judas Priest), performing songs from his solo career along with material from Judas Priest and Fight. DevilDriver and Nonpoint will round out the main stage line-up. Second stage headliners and six-time Ozzfest veterans Black Label Society will be joined by Drowning Pool, Kingdom of Sorrow, and 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. Tickets for the shows go on sale May 22.
Aug 14 - San Bernardino, CA - San Manuel Amphitheater
Aug 17 - Chicago, IL - First Midwest Bank Amp.
Aug 19 - Pittsburgh, PA - First Niagara Pavilion
Aug 21 - Hartford, CT - Comcast Theater
Aug 22 - Camden, NJ - Susquehanna
Aug 24 - Boston, MA - Comcast Center

Ozzfest line ups are always a hit or miss. some years the line up is mind blowing, yet most of the time theres too many shitbands that are on it, making it simply not worth my time and money to go.

Then again, seeing Motley Crue and Ozzy together would be pretty epic. I wish those two just toured together and left out all the others. Then had Airbourne open for them.... Thatd be awsome..

This isn't as bad as I had thought. Goatwhore and Kataklysm are nice additions and I've always wanted to see Motley Crue, combine that with the fact that there'll be a showing just an hour away from me I may go. I guess I'll just wait and see how much money this'll be.

I like Saviours, but not enough to catch this gig, even if they played anywhere near me.

Lineup sucks. Sorry. Kataklysm is probably the only good band. Hate Crue.
