Metal godfather Ozzy Osbourne will take time out from his busy television schedule in order to headline this summer's annual Ozzfest outing.
America's favorite foul-mouthed father has enlisted Korn , Marilyn Manson , Disturbed and Chevelle to join him on the summer festival's main-stage roster, according to organizers.
Cradle of Filth and Trust Company top the second-stage bill, which also features Shadow's Fall, Killswitch Engage, Nothingface, Hotwire, Grade 8, Twisted Method, Unloco and Memento. Additional second-stage acts will be named in the coming weeks.
Tickets for the outing--which kicks off in late June--will hit the box office sometime in March. A limited number of lawn seats for each show will be sold at venue box offices and/or other designated locations for $10 per ticket. Organizers advise ticket-buyers to check local listings and venue websites for further details.
Osbourne's backing-band lineup will feature longtime collaborators Zakk Wylde (guitar), Robert Trujillo (bass) and Michael Bordin (drums). The quartet will perform songs culled from Osbourne's 33-year career, organizers said.
The 14-hour event will again include its Village of the Damned concourse, which this year has been revamped with "state-of-the-art video games and some new surprises in addition to everyone's favorites such as piercing booths and world-class tattoo artists," according to a press release.
More than 4 million fans have attended Ozzfest over the last seven years, organizers claim.
An updated version of the event's official website will launch sometime in March.
