OZZY OSBOURNE Surprises Fans At Exclusive Pop-Up Store; LA’s KTLA Spends The Day With Ozzy & Sharon (Video Report)

To celebrate this year's Ozzfest Meets Knotfest, a special one-time Ozzfest pop-up store debuted last night (Thursday, September 28th) in the parking lot of the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles. With a variety of limited-edition merchandise for sale (more details below), last night's store also offered fans the ability to buy a $20 single day ticket for this year's Ozzfest, Saturday, November 4th show at Glen Helen Amphitheater and Festival Groundsin San Bernardino, CA. Ozzfest Meets Knotfest is returning for a second year with Knotfest to follow the next day (Sunday, November 5th).

Beyond offering fans the $20 ticket, the store featured a selection of Ozzfest, Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath merchandise ranging from T-shirts and posters to key chains, scarves, board games and much more. To add to the night's festivities, Ozzfest founders Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne dropped by the location to greet fans where Ozzy showered the crowd with specially created Ozzfest money, some of which was tagged as winning dollars which could be exchanged for tickets to the November Ozzfest festival date. Catch the excitement on KTLA News below:

A video trailer for Ozzfest Meets Knotfest is available for streaming below. Special pre-fest kickoff Friday, November 3rd for all ticketed campers. Tickets are on sale now at Ozzfest.com and Knotfest.com.

Ozzy Osbourne: “Last year's show with Black Sabbath was just incredible and I'm thrilled to be coming back this year with Zakk, Tommy, Blasko and Adam to headline the 21st anniversary of Ozzfest."

Slipknot’s Clown: "It's that incredible time again where Ozzfest and Knotfest meet up to bring all music fans together for two days of rock and roll. Let's not forget the beautiful culture we are involved in and the history that is being written. Join the true passion of our concepts. I'll see you there. Stay (sic)."

Sharon Osbourne: "Ozzfest Meets Knotfest is coming back for another round. Last year we had over 75,000 people attend and we have another great lineup this year with Ozzy's first solo show in L.A. in more than six years. This is not just another show... it's Ozzfest Meets Knotfest! And this year's event means the world to me as we'll be amongst friends like Prophets Of Rage, Rob Zombie, Deftones, Marilyn Manson and Stone Sour... it's going to be another amazing weekend."

Corey Taylor (Slipknot/Stone Sour): "Knotfest was never supposed to be exclusively about Slipknot. It was always about the things that fueled the spirit of Slipknot: music, art, passion, insanity, and the tribes that give it power. So it would make sense for Knotfest to carry on these ideas, even without Slipknot. Because these things are the gasoline of creativity, and there's plenty to go around, with plenty of great bands, acts and things to see. Teaming up again with Ozzfest means another weekend of the biggest, baddest, loudest and best. I hope you all will join us; it's going to be (sic)."
