Helllllllllllo Braingell,

I was going through my mail and found this email from the Ozzfest Community Team. I guess there is only going to be one Ozzfest this year. Ozzy is getting old and taking a break.....

All eyes and ears will be on Dallas, Texas Saturday, August 9.  No
 conspiracy theory here--just the facts.

 OZZFEST--the original and iconic hard rock festival--returns in 2008 as
 a one-day stadium spectacular that teams OZZFEST founder and namesake
 Ozzy Osbourne (in his only U.S. concert appearance this summer) with
 Metallica (marking their OZZFEST debut).

 Produced by Sharon Osbourne and AEG LIVE, the all-day festival at Pizza
 Hut Park in hard music-loving Dallas will feature three stages of
 non-stop talent (with many OZZFEST alumni) and reliably twisted OZZFEST
 side attractions.

 The full main stage lineup will also spotlight performances by Serj
 Tankian (System of a Down), Hellyeah, Jonathan Davis (Korn), Cavalera
 Conspiracy, Shadows Fall, Apocalyptica and In This Moment. Also scheduled
 on the main stage is a special all-star tribute to slain Pantera
 guitarist Dimebag Darrell Abbott. Second stage acts include Sevendust,
 Devildriver, Kingdom of Sorrow, Soilent Green, Witchcraft and Goatwhore.
  The Texas (third) stage homage to the many great metal
 bands that come from Texas,says Sharon Osbourne--features The Sword,
 Drowning Pool and Rigor Mortis.

 Ozzy just finished an 11-month world tour so I think he deserves a
 summer off,Sharon says about this year's one-day OZZFEST.
 are going to be a stadium destination festival for now--we have gone
 past doing the sheds every summer.  We've given everyone else the
 blueprint and we have to keep evolving OZZFEST.  This is just the beginning;
 AEG Live and I have a lot of new ideas for OZZFEST.

 This year's dynamic line-up encompasses artists who've played
 OZZFEST before in different incarnations such as Serj Tankian (System of a
 Down); Jonathan Davis (Korn); Hellyeah's Vinnie Paul (Pantera) and
 Chad Gray (Mudvayne); Kingdom of Sorrow's Jamie Jasta (Hatebreed) and
 Kirk Windstein (Down); and Max Cavalera (Soulfly, Sepultura) of Cavalara
 Conspiracy. Other OZZFEST graduates include Shadows Fall, Sevendust,
 Devildriver, Drowning Pool and In This Moment.

 Ozzy has great relationships with all of the bands that have played
 OZZFEST,says Sharon are the only real festival for harder
 edge bands and these artists have been very loyal to us--there is lots
 of love on this line-up.

 Tickets for this year's OZZFEST will go on sale Saturday, May 31.
