Pretty sweet. From other things I've read, looks like they are minimizing the brand new nu-metal acts and focusing on some veteran metal bands. Sweet!!

According to a reliable industry source, JUDAS PRIEST are "90 percent a go" for this year's Ozzfest, which is tentatively expected to kick off late June/early July. OZZY OSBOURNE, who is recovering from a nasty all-terrain-vehicle crash, will reportedly try to headline the festival once again, although any complications with his recovery may indefinitely postpone his return to the live stage. SLIPKNOT are believed to be in talks to co-headline the festival's second stage with HATEBREED, while DAMAGEPLAN and VELVET REVOLVER are also said to be strong possibilities. Says our source: "The thinking is that not enough people have been coming early so [the festival organizers] may lay off the newer acts and get more established acts for the second stage."

Ozzy Osbourne will "definitely" perform at this year's Ozzfest, a spokesperson for Sharon Osbourne Management has told BLABBERMOUTH.NET.
Osbourne will top a main-stage bill that will probably include veteran British heavy metallers JUDAS PRIEST. Also expected to appear are SLIPKNOT and HATEBREED, who will likely co-headline the festival's second-stage. Other rumored contenders for the festival include DAMAGEPLAN and VELVET REVOLVER.
Ozzy's ability to participate in the 2004 installment of the annual travelling heavy metal festival was placed under a cloud of uncertainty following his all-terrain vehicle accident in December.
Osbourne, 55, fractured his collarbone, eight ribs and a neck vertebra when the 600-pound vehicle he was riding flipped and landed on top of him at his estate in Buckinghamshire, southern England. He spent a week on a ventilator.
Earlier this month, Ozzy cancelled a 20-date European tour, citing his need to spend the next few months getting his life back on track in the wake of the near-fatal accident.
Announcing the cancellation, Osbourne said: "I am deeply disappointed, but it's out of my control.
"Right now I need to concentrate on my recovery and unfortunately this is something I cannot rush.
"I have to take things one step at a time now. I look forward to being back on stage as and when the doctors tell me I am fit and ready."
