Ozzfest Tickets in Phoenix
For hardcore rock and deathmetal lovers there is nothing better then Ozzfest. Some of the names on the tour this year are: Ozzy Osbourne, Lamb of God, Lordi, Hatebreed, Behemoth, and more. If you want to get moshing, the Cricket Pavilion in Phoenix is the place to be. Here is some info from its wiki:
The festival was created in 1996, when organizers of musical festival Lollapalooza refused to let Ozzy Osbourne join the tour. The tour was very well-received, which prompted the Osbournes to have the festival become a yearly occurrence.
In 1998, Ozzfest ventured outside the United States for the first time for the United Kingdom, which featured a different lineup. After 4 shows, however, Main Stage act Korn dropped out of the tour, due to the wife of one of the band members giving birth. The festival would eventually return to the UK, appearing in 2001, 2002, and 2005.
In 2002, Ozzfest expanded its borders into central Europe. Included were 16 venues across Germany, the UK, the Netherlands, Italy, Austria, Denmark, Finland and Russia among other nations. The festival, however, was marked by the death of Drowning Pool frontman Dave Williams, who was found dead of an undiagnosed heart condition on their bus. Tommy Lee replaced the band for the rest of the tour.
On-stage footage of the Ozzfest 2004 tour was shown on MTV. They hosted a show titled Battle for Ozzfest where Ozzy and Sharon chose eight out of hundreds of bands to compete for a spot on the following year’s Ozzfest. Ozzy selected one member of each band to “tag along” on the tour doing various tasks (some just to anger the contestants) and there were occasional meetings to decide which contestant was to leave that week for whatever reason. Marc Serrano from A Dozen Furies was the winner.
