OZZFEST Is Coming For Japan; BLACK SABBATH To Headline?
It has been announced by the Ozzfest clan that Ozzy Osbourne's traveling festival, will take place on May 11-12, 2013 at Makuhari Messe in Chiba City (outside Tokyo), Japan. The lineup for the event will be announced soon.
Ozzy's wife/manager Sharon recently revealed that BLACK SABBATH will tour Australia next spring, leading to speculation that SABBATH will also headline Japan's Ozzfest.
Ozzfest, which began in 1996, has not been a traveling festival since 2007's "free" edition. The show morphed into a one-off event in Dallas in 2008, also featuring METALLICA, before taking 2009 off. Following the demise of Ozzfest, the Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival has become the prime annual Heavy Music traveling festival.
The 2010 U.S. Ozzfest played in just six cities, with OZZY OSBOURNE co-headlining with MÖTLEY CRÜE and the rest of the main stage filled out by HALFORD, the solo band of JUDAS PRIEST singer Rob Halford, along with DEVILDRIVER and NONPOINT.
