Skipping Kansas: Ozzfest again + Overkill again

After months of speculation, Ozzfest was announced. Although it certainly was a disappointment that there are so few dates, the lineup is solid for the most part and is loads better than Mayhem Fest this year.

Ozzy
Motley Crue
Halford
DevilDriver
Nonpoint

Black Label Society
Drowning Pool
Kingdom Of Sorrow
Skeletonwitch
Goatwhore
Saviours
Kataklysm

Only like 6 dates, though. Closest is Chicago, I guess.

--

Overkill announced dates for the 2nd leg of their Killfest tour and it's not even hitting the west coast, let alone the midwest.

Overkill
Forbidden
Evile
Gama Bomb
Bonded By Blood

A near perfect mixing of old-school thrash and newer thrash bands. Closest date is...uh, really none.

News of OZZFEST to come next week.

Annual (or so) heavy metal/hard rock festival Ozzfest will release news after months of speculation beginning next week.

It has a chance to be amazing, especially considering the weak Mayhem Fest lineup.

Ozzfest has been to Sandstone every year (except 2004/5 with Iron Maiden and Black Sabbath playing) so it's sure to hit here.

Rumored bands:











And lots more.

No Ozzfest this year

In a recent update to the Ozzfest site, this bombshell was dropped:

"The two-time Grammy Award winner has decided that he will not be touring until he has a new album in-stores (currently projected to be Thanksgiving 2009). Thus, OZZY has decided to put his namesake festival OZZFEST on hold this year."

This is after multiple interviews with Ozzy and Sharon confirming that there will be an '09 Ozzfest and after they put up a survey about who we'd like to see perform at Ozzfest 2009 (which, ironically, is still up).

Ozzy wants another album already? I think we'd all prefer a good Ozzfest tour than another sub-par rock album from the aging rocker.

The icing on the cake, though, is that the next sentence in the announcement is this: "
In the meantime, if you need an OZZY fix you can watch him with Sharon, Kelly and Jack on the "first family of rock's" return to television. THE OSBOURNES: RELOADED is set to launch this spring on Fox TV."

I believe that now Hot Topic has cares more about music that Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne now.
