Ozzy Osbourne and Metallica will headline this year’s Ozzfest, which is slated to be a one-day festival that will also feature Jonathan Davis, The Sword, Serj Tankian, and many other, crappier metal bands. The show is set for Aug. 9 at Dallas’ Pizza Hut Park, a setup that is causing fans to revolt in the official announcement’s comment section. (Sample comments: “FUCK YOU Sharron!!!!!!! If it wasnt for the thousands of people like me that payed to see Ozzfest and promote music YOU wouldnt have anything….You have made your last dime from me”; “This Suck This is bullshit ozzfest is only going to be a one day show in TX. Well I am gland that all of other summer tour is not like this like warped tour now we got a new summer tour call rockstar mayhem tour I hope it better than ozzfest”) Full lineup after the jump.

So wait, does the show’s setting mean that Pizza Hut is now the most metal of the mass-produced pizza chains? For some reason I thought that prize belonged to Little Caesar’s.
How the hell had I not seen that photo before…
@Ned Raggett: I’m a bit more curious as to who exactly that old lady is.
And no, I don’t mean Ozzy. I know who that old lady is.
Old lady = Queen Elizabeth II
@Charlie Kerfelds Jetsons Tee: I sincerly hoped she was thinking that being Queen ain’t all it’s cracked up to be if it means having to hob knob with a sanitized Ozzy and a sock puppet.
Rod Stewart’s unmistakably orange glow and glorious mane is hidden by the queen.

The ungodly suckage of solo-Jonathan Davis is nicely balanced out by Devildriver and !OMG! Rigor Mortis.
