“Ozzfest Meets Knotfest” is a thing that is happening (with Black Sabbath, Slayer, Anthrax, Megadeth, Dead Cross, & more)
That's right. Ozzy Osbourne teams with mall-metal giants Slipknot (who have played various Ozzfests) for a joint festival this year at San Bernardino, CA's San Manuel Amphitheater and Festival Grounds on September 24 & 25. Day 1 is Ozzfest day, with Black Sabbath headlining, plus thrash vets Megadeth, prog-metal greats Opeth, metalcore vets Hatebreed, Dave Lombardo's new band with Locust members Dead Cross, NOLA metal vets Goatwhore, neo-thrashers Municipal Waste, Canadian death metallers Kataklysm, metallic hardcore band Nails and more.
Day 2 is Knotfest day with Slipknot headlining, Dave Lombardo's former bandmates Slayer, Slayer's upcoming tourmates Anthrax and Death Angel (yes, that means Metaliica is the only Big Four band not playing this weekend), more veteran thrash from Overkill, Swedish melodeath dudes Amon Amarth, and more.
Both days honor Lemmy with a Lemmy Stage. Tickets go on sale May 20 at 10 AM PST. Full lineup below.
In related news, we mentioned earlier today that you can get a deal this week through next on $20 Black Sabbath tickets at certain stops of their "final" tour.
