i have been emailing back and forth with the livenation person that sets up shows at my local venue, trying to get her to spill the beans. all she is saying is that there is an upcoming announcement that i will be happy about. it could be ozzfest. could be iron maiden having another date added. i dont know....
I'd really love to know what is so stupid about Ozzy not headlining Ozzfest. The man is getting to be too old to preform and having different big name bands headline would bring in more people than the same old guy every year.
^ I agree and why cant you giva him a shorter set than and still make him the closer?..he cant be on stage for like 45 min to an hour? thats not that long. and i was very impressed with ozzy when i saw him compared to what i was expecting, he was very energetic
"Now that's stupid. He still PERFORMs good enough to headline."
In the end though, what brings more people to Ozzfest? Metallica or Priest playing a full set or a capable but fragile Ozzy? I don't see what the big deal is about him closing or not. As long as he's playing, there needn't be complaints.
Idk maybe cuz it's called OZZfest not METALLICAfest or whatever band is there he should headline his own festival even if he has a shorter set than the other bands I'd rather have him as the last band to play and have a shorter set than play earlier and have a shorter set
i am torn about ozzy. last time i saw him was at ozzfest 2006 and he kept on forgetting the lyrics to his songs. Zakk kept on bailing him out. without Zakk, he is going to look really bad

"All I need is Devildriver, Gojira, and at least a decent headliner and I'm set."
