Ozzfest Tour RIP? - A Top Story This Week

. Ozzfest Tour RIP? was a top story of this week. Here it is again: (antiMusic) Since Ozzfest couldn't fill seats by literally giving away tickets last year, it now looks like it may be going the way of Lollapalooza- the music fest tour that snubbed Ozzy and caused $haron to dream up the once successful Ozzfest. You'll remember that the corporate "alternative" fest was widdled down to one weekend event due to a complete lack of interest from ticket buyers. Idolator has the story:

But the latest blog blab wonders if this year's Ozzfest won't actually be a tour at all, in what might turn out to be a very limited run indeed. Yes, Ozzfest is now rumored to be turning into a two-day festival to be held in Texas during one of the most festival-saturated summers in recent memory.

Admittedly the headbanging Ozzfest won't really be competing for the same limited audience as the 800 festivals currently set to feature a performance from affable surf goof Jack Johnson and/or the dozens of mid-level indie bands that will spend the hot weather months whoring themselves out to any two-day gathering that will have them - more on this story
