Annual festival that was ultimately started by Ozzy Osbourne's wife, Sharon Osbourne, in retaliation against Lollapalooza management, whom would not put Ozzy on the Lollapalooza line-up because he was not considered "cool" in the alternative world. Ever since 1996, this annual tour has increased in popularity, bringing metal bands such as Megadeth, Pantera, Fear Factory, and, of course, Ozzy and Black Sabbath. Due to the uprise of nu-metal in recent years, this festival seems to get more "commercial" every year.
Jay: "dude, Ozzfest 2001 was awesome!"
me: "2000 and the ones before are the only awesome ones."

Started by Sharon Osbourne, Ozzfest is the monster summer tour famous for hosting some of metals finest bands (Iron Maiden, Megadeth, Black Sabbath, Slayer) as well as some of metals shittiest (Wicked Wisdom, Gizmachi, Papa Roach). If you attend Ozzfest you will be exhausted (from moshing and punching the little kids), dehydrated (getting drunk doesnt hydrate you), reeking of weed and likely covered in fluids that didnt come from you. If youre a guy, youre a serious metalhead. If youre a girl, you may be part of the 90% fat-chick crowd. Either way, you probably kick ass on a regular basis.
As of 2007, Ozzfest is absolutely free. You must obtain a code online, which is redeemable on or after June 12th to obtain two tickets to a venue of your choice. The most convenient place to do this is www.ozzfest.com. A code does not guarantee tickets, so you must be quick about getting them when June 12 comes around.
-When Iron Maiden came on the stage at Ozzfest, the guy on ecstasy seated in back of me intentionally threw his beer on me. I then knew I had fully recieved the true Ozzfest experience.
-During Tony Iommi's solo in Paranoid, Ozzy mooned the crowd.
-June 12 is my birthday. Im getting myself two free tickets to Ozzfest for a present.
-Bands are not being paid this year due to the free tour. Didnt stop some decent acts like Lamb of God and Behemoth to hop on.

An annual summer festival which my whole life depends on:-).Started in 96 by Headliner Ozzy Osbourned wife Sharon.Ozzfest became a platform for Nu Metal(which was getting big at the time),it became a place where bands like Korn(2003)Deftones,(hed) pe,slipknot,fear factory(1999)and Snot(1998) could play with Ozzy and 18 other bands.Now that hardcore music is getting big.Ozzfest has a bunch of hardcore/metalcore bands on the feat in 2004.I couldnt be happier.
John:1999 was the best Ozzfest
Me:I agree,2003 had good bands like Korn and Nothingface too,but 99 was better.
John:2004 sucks
Me:dude you suck
