U.K. OZZFEST To Feature OZZY OSBOURNE, KORN, MURDERDOLLS

June 14, 2010

According to Rock Sound magazine, the U.K. installment of Ozzy Osbourne's travelling festival, Ozzfest, will take place on September 18 at the O2 Arena in London. In addition to Ozzy, the lineup for the event will include KORN, MURDERDOLLS and SKINDRED.

The lineup and schedule for the U.S. return of Ozzfest was unveiled on April 30. Ozzy Osbourne will co-headline with MÖTLEY CRÜE and the rest of the main stage will be filled out by HALFORD, the solo band of JUDAS PRIEST singer Rob Halford, along with DEVILDRIVER and NONPOINT. Appearing on the second stage will be BLACK LABEL SOCIETY, DROWNING POOL, KINGDOM OF SORROW, GOATWHORE, SKELETONWITCH, SAVIOURS and KATAKLYSM.

The show itself will play in just six cities, beginning on August 14 in San Bernardino, California, and ending on August 24 in Boston.

This will be Ozzy's first tour with MÖTLEY CRÜE since 1984, when he took them out as an opening act and helped put the band on the map.

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.

The aging festival faces increased competition this summer from the third annual Rockstar Energy Mayhem tour, as well as the new Uproar Tour.
