Last week (Thursday, May 12th) at the Palladium in Hollywood, CA, representatives from some of the 40 acts on the Ozzfest Meets Knotfest bill gathered together to reveal the merger of two of the most well-known and established brands in rock - Ozzfest, celebrating its 20th anniversary, and Knotfst, which debuted in 2012. Beyond the festival namesakes Ozzy Osbourne (with Geezer Butler) and Corey Taylor (with fellow Slipknot members, Shawn "Clown" Crahan and DJ Sid Wilson), Sharon Osbourne; David Draiman, Disturbed; Scott Ian, Anthrax; Zakk Wylde, Black Label Society; Jamey Jasta, Hatebreed; Jill Janus, Huntress; Dave Lombardo, Dead Cross; and Eddie Hermida of Suicide Silence all were on hand for the historic announcement.

 

 

The line-up for Ozzfest Meets Knotfest,  Saturday, September 24th (Ozzfest) and Sunday, September 25th (Knotfest), at San Manuel Amphitheater and Festival Grounds in San Bernardino, CA, is as follows, with both Ozzfest and Knotfest dedicating a stage in honor of their departed comrade Lemmy Kilmister of Motörhead.  Saturday's Ozzfest will be headlined by Black Sabbath - marking their last Southern California performance ever as part of the band's final tour - and Sunday's Knotfst bill is topped by the festival's namesake, Slipknot. In the longtime Ozzfest tradition of continuing to support the music for which it was created, both lineups will again feature many acts that Ozzfest and Knotfest fans have seen at previous outings in both the US or internationally. Ozzfest alumni appearing this year include: Black Sabbath, Disturbed, Megadeth, Black Label Society, Hatebreed, DevilDriver, Goatwhore, and Kataklysm, while Sunday's Knotfst bill will feature Ozzfest alumni Slipknot, Slayer, Anthrax, and Trivium.
