I got this from Blabbermouth.net (http://www.roadrunnerrecords.com/blabbermouth.net/news.aspx?mode=Article&newsitemID=33091)

BLACK LABEL SOCIETY And ROB ZOMBIE For OZZFEST - Feb. 18, 2005

Word has it that BLACK LABEL SOCIETY and ROB ZOMBIE have both secured slots on the 10-year-anniversary edition of Ozzfest, with Zakk Wylde's troupe slated to kick off the proceedings on the main stage. Meanwhile, ZOMBIE, MUDVAYNE and KILLSWITCH ENGAGE are said to be in the mix for the smaller second stage, which is expected to feature more non-rotating slots this summer compared to the last couple of years.

As exclusively reported by BLABBERMOUTH.NET on Tuesday, IRON MAIDEN are set to co-headline the entire event with BLACK SABBATH, although recent reports indicate that OZZY OSBOURNE (with Zakk Wylde on guitar) may attempt to stage a solo performance at this year's festival. Also expected to perform on the main stage is the "Among the Living" lineup of ANTHRAX, which has already been confirmed for three European festivals this spring/summer (Holland's Dynamo Open Air on May 7, Sweden's Sweden Rock on June 9-11 and Italy's Gods of Metal on June 11-12) prior to their appearance at Ozzfest.

I expected Zakk to be on the tour one way or another, whether it be with his own band or with Ozzy.

Rob Zombie on Ozzfest? Is he putting out another CD or what? I haven't heard jack shit from him since he released that Greatest Hits record. Oh well.

I know all the "oldie metal" bands headlining Ozzfest is supposed to be a throwback to the roots of metal, but for the love of christ, stop it. Sabbath is all well and good, but Priest & Madien is pushing it. I don't like all three, but Ozzfest caters to a different kind of metal fan now. This is to just pull in the old metal fans, and attempt to expose the newer breed of metal fans to the roots of metal.

They might as well add Motley Crue. It would not suprise me.
