Ozzfest will be facing a lot of competition this year with the Metallica/Linkin Park/ Limp Bizkit stadium tour and the return of Lollapalooza.  Since everyone else seems to be announcing their summer tours in February, Ozzy (or rather Sharon) decided to jump into action and announce this year�s Ozzfest this week. 

The Osbournes opened their home up to members of the mainstream press for the announcement on Tuesday (Feb 18). Ozzy, Jack and Sharon Osbourne gave reporters the details of the tour. 

This year the Ozzfest will hit 30 cities and is set to kick off on June 28th in San Antonio and conclude in West Palm Beach, Florida on August 28th. (chad�s anyone?) 

To head off the stiff competion from the other major tours this summer, a limited number of lawn seat tickets will be sold for $10 each. 

So what�s in store for Ozzfestians this year?  

As we reported last week the mainstage will feature sets from Marilyn Manson, Korn, Disturbed, Chevelle and of course Ozzy himself. 

The second stage lineup will include Cradle of Filth, Trust Company acting as co-headliners and additional sets from Memento, Hotwire, Shadows Fall, Grade 8, Twisted Method, Nothingface, Killswitch Engage and Unloco.
