Cutting-edge hard rock / metal bands The Sword and Witchcraft will join Ozzy Osbourne and Metallica amongst the live acts chosen to participate in Ozzfest 2008, set to take place on Saturday, August 9th in Dallas, TX. The dynamic, Austin, TX based band and the respected Swedish psyche-rock quartet will each bring their critically acclaimed live sets to the arena as part of the just-announced one-day stadium spectacular.
Produced by Sharon Osbourne and AEG Live, the all-day festival at Pizza Hut Park in Dallas will feature three stages of non-stop talent and “reliably twisted Ozzfest side attractions.” In addition to featuring the festival's namesake and Metallica, the main stage lineup will include performances by Serj Tankian (System of a Down), Jonathan Davis (Korn), Cavalera Conspiracy and more, while the second stage will showcase Witchcraft alongside a wide array of respected underground acts. The Texas (third) stage -- “an homage to the “many great metal bands that come from Texas,” says Sharon Osbourne -- will spotlight The Sword and reactivated Texas thrash/speed metal band Rigor Mortis amongst others.
Tickets for this year’s Ozzfest will go on sale Saturday, May 31st. For up-to-the-minute details, please visit: www.Ozzfest.com.
