Ozzy Osbourne, Metallica, Jonathan Davis of Korn, Serj Tankian, Hellyeah, Sevendust and Shadows Fall, among others, are scheduled to appear at this year's one-off Ozzfest, scheduled for August 9 at Pizza Hut Park in Dallas.

Other main-stage acts on the bill are Cavalera Conspiracy, Apocalyptica, In This Moment and an all-star tribute to late Pantera guitarist "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott.

Second-stage acts are Devildriver, Kingdom of Sorrow, Soilent Green, Witchcraft and Goatwhore. The Sword, Drowning Pool and Rigor Mortis will handle duties on the third stage.

"We're going to be a stadium destination festival for now -- we have gone past doing the sheds every summer," says Ozzy's wife, Sharon Osbourne, who is producing Ozzfest with AEG Live. "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."

Ozzfest will be Ozzy Osbourne's only concert performance this summer. Tickets for the one-day festival will go on sale May 31 via Ozzfest.com; prices have not yet been announced.

It is unclear what caused the last minute scheduling addition, but the postponement of the ZZ Top concert originally scheduled for today as well at Ford Park could have played a factor into the decision.

The doors open at 8 p.m. at Antone's and ages 18 and older are always welcome to attend. Admission price to the show is not available at this time, and it is also unclear if War of Reason, which was originally scheduled to perform tonight (according to information provided by the Crockett Street Entertainment) or any other band will actually be performing along with Knuckle Deep.

All tickets sold for the May 3rd concert will be honored for the soon to be announced date.

It is unknown whether this will also include the several local bands which had been scheduled to participate on the Midway Stages as well.

ZZ Top last performed at Ford Pavilion in Beaumont in April 2007 in what is considered one of the most memorable shows at Ford Park, not only because of the great music, but because of the near freezing temperatures (38 degrees!) that thousands of loyal fans endured to also see Kid Rock, Los Lonely Boys and Cross Canadian Ragweed.

The May 3rd show was to also include Montgomery Gentry and Cory Morrow. However, it has not been announced whether the rescheduled date will include these two acts or not.

More information about this Coondog and SK Productions event will be announced soon.]]> 01 Articles http://www.localmusicguide.net/main/index.php?itemid=246 Thu, 1 May 2008 14:43:52 -0700
