Sharon Osbourne, in partnership with Japanese promoter Hayashi International Promotion (H.I.P.), debuted the first-ever Ozzfest Japan on Saturday, May 11th and Sunday, May 12th at the Makuhari Messe Arena, just outside of Tokyo. The event featured headlining performances from BLACK SABBATH - featuring Ozzy Osbourne, Geezer Butler and Tony Iommi - and Slipknot.
Fan-filmed video of Slipknot in action at Ozzfest Japan is available below. Clown commented on the experience:
"It was an extreme honor to have been invited to play the first show of two shows at the first-ever Ozzfest in Japan. It's always a beautiful thing to be a part of something that is brand new for the fans. As always, our love for the Japanese people goes without saying, and we are relieved that we finally got back to Japan. Everyone went off at the show, making it completely incredible…but it’s always like that when we go to Japan. Thank you to everyone for having us and you can rest assured we will always be back. We love you."
