IRON MAIDEN, BLACK SABBATH TOP OZZFEST 2005

[HARD ROCK UNIVERSE]

According to Launch, IRON MAIDEN are the confirmed co-headliners with BLACK SABBATH on this year's installment of Ozzfest. The UK legends will be joined by ANTHRAX's Among The Living lineup (featuring vocalist Joey Belladonna, guitarist Dan Spitz and bassist Frank Bello), with many more main stage and second stage bands to be announced soon.

In a UK interview today Sabbath frontman Ozzy Osbourne commented: "We've hoped to get Maiden in our tour forever, and this is the 10th year. Both of these old (English) bands will have the time of their lives rockin' America and fans will get their rocks off, too."

All indications are that this is likely the final year for Ozzfest.

Just like when Ozzy "retired" back in the '90's I'm sure

Cool, cool, triple cool!

That would be a show to see.
It'll probably be packed to the max unlike any precedeing Ozfest...

I hear ya. ...thought I might croak at the '83 US Festival. Miserable!

But I'm experienced by this time. I'm thinking of going to Oz too.
