I might go if I can scam a ticket on the cheap. I like Mastodon, and Arch Enemy's ok if I'm up close. I've seen Sabbath twice already and have no real keen interest at looking at a propped-up Ozzy spraying water on teenage headbanger dumbshits while everyone plays under a lot of overdubbing. While I don't care for Iron Maiden and detest power metal in general, I wouldn't object to seeing them live. I'd check out some of the bands I've never heard just to give them a chance. Everyone else on the bill can fuck right off, however.

 

I wouldn't pay full price to go.

"Launch Radio Networks is reporting that VELVET REVOLVER has firmed up plans to be part of this year's Ozzfest tour. Drummer Matt Sorum said the group will play 10 Ozzfest dates, commencing on August 16 in West Valley City, Utah. The last seven dates will be in lieu of IRON MAIDEN, which drops off the bill on August 20."

I thought the Abthrax reuunion was already a go, at least until todays April 1st news conferance:

Well, I guess it doesn't say anything about Ozzfest.

I might just get the Ozzy Box Set and get the two for one ticket considering how much these damn tickets are. Be cheaper to pay for the box set than buy another ticket anyway.

"ANTHRAX have shot down rumors that they will be appearing at this year's Ozzfest, stating that they will be holding off their U.S. touring plans until the fall."

The answer is Mudvayne.

they mystery band was advertised as 5 members

Mudvayne (4 members) is not the "mystery band" they were just added to be added

Stupid suggestion/question

What are the odds of a White Zombie reunion?

Like I said in the other thread: yuck. This Ozzfest was looking so good with Anthrax being rumored, but they had to go to a typical dreck Ozzfest band like Mudvayne. Still will go to see Sabbath and Maiden though. Saw Mudvayne live opening for Metallica a couple years ago and they were terrible and the crowd booed all through their set. The lead singer was asking us to give them a chance and only got a pop when he mentioned Metallica...

I'm not going to Ozzfest again until I get Devin Townsend somewhere on the bill.

Two more mysery bands added to Ozzfest, one on the main stage and the other on the second stage. The main stage band is Velvet Revolver, which was announced a week or so ago. They will be doing the last few dates of the tour (from Aug. 23 to Sept. 4th), I believe mainly to fill in for Iron Maiden taking off the last 7 dates. The second stage band has not yet been announced, but I hope to god it's Children of Bodom.
