• Ozzy Osbourne Cancels Mexican Ozzfiesta Due to Unspecified Surgery; Will Still Play Monsters of Rock Dates

    Ozzy Osbourne fans and early vacationers were disappointed to learn that the vocalist had cancelled his Ozzfiesta event at Riviera Maya in Mexico due to an unspecified surgery.

  • Black Tusk, Black Label Society Continue Tour After Bassist Dies

    Black Tusk was set to embark on a 2015 international tour with Black Label Society and Crobot when bassist Jonathan Athon was killed in a motorcycle accident this November. After roughly a month of grieving, the band has decided to move on with the tour as planned, citing Athon as their inspiration. Here is the message from the band's Facebook page: "It's been an incredibly trying time for us over the past month and we want to thank everyone for their support. We had confirmed the European tour with Black Label Society and finished the new album before Athon's accident and Athon, specifically, had been very excited about the opportunity to tour with BLS and we feel there's no way he'd want things to end on this note. Corey Barhorst, formerly of Kylesa and currently of Niche, will be stepping in for Athon for the time being. All of us go back over 10 years and Corey seemed the natural choice to carry on for Athon."

  • Ozzfest Heading to Mexico in The Form of Ozzfiesta

    Ozzfest was a central part of the hard rock year when it toured from 1996 to 2008 and a few years after. That ship seems to have sailed for the time being however. Namesake Ozzy Osbourne seems to be consolidating his touring showcase of metal into one big international event, taking place in Riviera Maya near Cancun in Mexico. Just to prove he's down with the international nature of the event, the operating title will be Ozzfiesta.
