FROM OZZFEST 2013 JAPAN:
Ozzfest Japan 2013 - May 11-12, 2013 at Makuhari Messe

The line-up for the first-ever OZZFEST JAPAN--set for Saturday, May 11 and Sunday, May 12, 2013 at the Makuhari Messe arena just outside of Tokyo--keeps getting more spectacular. Tool, Slash, Deftones and Stone Sour join previously announced headliners Black Sabbath and Slipknot.

OZZFEST JAPAN--a collaboration between Sharon Osbourne, in partnership with Japanese promoter Hayashi International Promotion (H.I.P.)-- will include Ozzfest alumni Black Sabbath (‘97, ’99, 2001, 2004 & 2005) Slipknot (’99, 2001, 2004 & 2005), Tool (’98, 2001, 2002) and Deftones (’99).

“We’ve assembled an amazing lineup for the first ever Ozzfest Japan. Black Sabbath, Slipknot, Tool, Slash, what more could you ask for?” says Sharon Osbourne “And we still have plenty of surprises to come. The Ozzfest Japan line-up will rival any of our previous festivals.”

“It took a long time for Ozzfest to come to Japan but I know the fans here are going to feel it was worth the wait,” Massy Hayashi says. “Of course, any time you have living legends like Black Sabbath on stage you know it is going to be a memorable event.” Last year, H.I.P. produced the sold-out one-day punk rock festival Air Jam at Yokohama Stadium.
