Ozzfest

Ozzfest é um festival itinerante de rock anual realizado nos Estados Unidos, que apresenta diversas bandas de heavy metal, concebido e organizado por Ozzy Osbourne e sua esposa,Sharon Osbourne.

A idéia do Ozzfest partiu da própria Sharon Osbourne após ter um pedido de participação no festival Lolapalooza negado ao seu marido Ozzy. Após este evento ela decidiu fazer seu próprio festival e ao longo dos anos, o Ozzfest passou a ser o maior festival de música pesada dos EUA.

A turnê é tradicionalmente composta por dois palcos. No palco principal geralmente se apresentam os artistas mais consagrados. O segundo palco (Hot Topic) traz apresentações de bandas menos conhecidas ou bandas novas.
