Somerset OZZFEST Concert Postponed

August 4, 2005

According to Minnesota's Pure Rock 93X, the Ozzfest concert originally planned for this Sunday, August 7 at the Float-Rite Amphitheatre in Somerset, WI will be rescheduled for Saturday, September 10. "The word is: Ozzy [Osbourne] injured his voice and needs a break," reads a posting on the radio station's web site.

"Those that have reservations to camp this weekend at Float-Rite campground are encouraged to keep their plans. Upon on arrival at Floatrite this weekend ... campers will be given a complimentary certificate for camping at the September 10th Ozzfest performance."

For more information, call the Float-Rite campground at 800-826-7096.

As previously reported, BLACK SABBATH were forced to back out of three appearances in a week due to Osbourne's health. The band were an early scratch from Tuesday's (August 2) Ozzfest tour stop at the Germain Amphitheatre in Columbus, Ohio, which meant IRON MAIDEN once again did a full headlining set. SABBATH previously dropped off the July 27 date in Holmdel, New Jersey, and again on Sunday (July 31) in Noblesville, Indiana.

BLACK SABBATH are scheduled to headline tonight's (August 4) Ozzfest concert at the DTE Energy Music Theatre in Clarkston, Michigan.
