OZZY OSBOURNE's 2007 Ozzfest tour will be a literal free-for-all - tickets will be given away. The rocker's manager-wife SHARON has struck a deal with a consortium of sponsors who will cover the costs of the summer trek, allowing rock fans to see the show for free. She says, "Everybody has been so good to us over the years, and year after year ticket prices get higher and higher and higher. "We just thought we can't keep on raising ticket prices because there is not that much money out there anymore. Hey, kids can go online and download music, why not go to a show for free too? What the heck?" http://www.rawstory.com/showarticle...news.nsf/article/ozzfest%20for%20free_1021292
Any idea of who will be headlining? I have heard rumors of Alice In Chains, which would be awesome, but I haven't heard any confirmation.
To gain entry into the event, fans will go to www.ozzfest.com or www.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. http://www.ozzfest.com/news_2006.html
Hope Alice In Chains has headed their music into a new direction.. Cause otherwise, unless Maynard fills in once again for a dead Layne.. It's gonna sux0rz.
When I saw them live at the Woodlands in October I thought that William Duval did an exceptional job as the new vocalist. However, I do agree with you in that I hope they begin to write some new music and eventually come out with a new album. It was awesome to hear those songs live again though.
