The traveling extravaganza will once again be
headlined by OZZY OSBOURNE, with the rest of the
lineup yet to be announced. Ozzfest co-founder Sharon
Osbourne said during a press conference last month
that doing the tour like this was unprecedented:
"We're doing 25 shows across America, and it's the
first time that actually a summer festival tour has
gone out free. There's been millions of free one-off
shows, but this is gonna be a 25-city tour. And we're
having our second stage, as usual, and everything goes
as normal, except it's free."
Ozzfest will utilize sponsors to offset the costs of
producing and running the festival. To gain entry into
the event, fans will go to Ozzfest.com or LiveNation.com to find links that will direct them to
special sponsor sites where tickets can be secured.
More details regarding the process are forthcoming.
Sharon said that rising artist fees would have forced
Ozzfest organizers to raise ticket prices this year.
While smaller acts have traditionally not received a
fee, Sharon insisted that no one is getting paid this
time: "We are giving people a stage, and we're giving
them a chance to play in front of thousands of people.
And we're giving them the chance on days off, they can
go work wherever they wanna work, gig wherever they
wanna gig. They can even play Ozzfest and then go off
that night and do another gig, 'cause we start music
from noon. But they can come, they can sell their
merchandise, they can sell their music. But it's free.
We're not paying anyone."
Sharon said that the tour already had "bands
committed," adding, "We know there aren't any major
headlining acts that would tour all summer for
nothing, but we're confident we can turn some of the
genre's biggest bands on to what we're doing and have
them come out to play a date or two."
In a prepared statement, Sharon also said that the
reason for doing the tour this way was simple: "We're
reaching the same point we did years ago when kids no
longer wanted to pay for overpriced CDs. As a result,
they found alternative ways of getting music. That's
what's happening with summer touring in this country,
it's out-pricing itself. We started this and we want
to keep it and we want to make it bigger and bigger
each year by getting bigger sponsors to be involved
with the festival and underwriting the festival."

Ivan, 1st paragraph says 25 shows but if you count there's only 24 listed here so maybe the will do Atlanta.
vB, Fans will go to Ozzfest.com or
LiveNation.com to find links that will direct them to
special sponsor sites where tickets can be secured.
