this is the first year i didn't have pit pre sale. i dunno if i'm even going this year... and if i do it will only be lawn since the line up is so weak
A few signs from Ozzfest.com are indicating that the legendary festival may not happen in 2011. The Ozzfest.com band page is now blank. It did state 'Ozzfest 2011 Bands Coming Soon'. In the forums of Ozzfest.com there was a post that was assigned to the top of the Ozzfest section of the forums which asked fans to choose bands they wished to see on Ozzfest 2011. The post has been deleted.
It appears there will not be an Ozzfest this year. With a sluggish economy and several other hard rock/metal events and tours (Mayhem Fest, Uproar, Lollapalooza, Big 4, Motley Crue/Poison, Summer Slaughter, etc) flooding the market, perhaps Ozzfest needs a year off to regroup, rebuild and make the festival the metal event of the year.
I really think that Ozzfest would be better served it if were a 2 day destination festival. Have it in a central location, like Indianapolis or St. Louis. Chicago already has Lollapalooze so they definitely do not need another major music fest IMO.
Could you imagine a 2 day festival with all of the great (and by great I mean legendary bands mixed in with newer bands who sell tickets/albums better than most) bands of hard rock/metal?
Day 1: Main Stage: Ozzy Osbourne Godsmack Motorhead Mastodon
Second Stage: Black Label Society All That Remains Exodus Dimmu Borgir Goatwhore Airbourne
Day 2: Main Stage: System Of A Down Judas Priest Deftones Anthrax
Second Stage: 5 Finger Death Punch Down Overkill Cradle of Filth Skeletonwitch The Sword
Okay, that was put together really quickly, but you have a mix of newer bands and veteran bands that would draw different fans from different genres of metal and sell tickets. Just a thought. What do you think?
Not a fan of any of the others. I don't care how classic Priest and Motorhead are. I just don't care for their music and the rest I just do not like at all. That would be a terrible event.

"Could you imagine a 2 day festival with all of the great (and by great I mean legendary bands"

"(and by great I mean legendary bands mixed in with newer bands who sell tickets/albums better than most)" Godsmack is a newer band that sells tickets..... <_>
they have Godsmack listed as the co-headliner right after sayinf legendary. they aint new, they been around for 15-20 years and shit... I like alot of the list, but they should switch out godsack with priest or something...
