Unlike previous years the event won’t travel across the America but will instead take place in Dallas on August 9th.

Speaking about the decision to cut down the event, Sharon Osbourne said that he husband “deserves a summer off” following extensive touring.

"We're going to be a stadium destination festival for now — we have gone past doing the sheds every summer,” she said.

“We've given everyone else the blueprint and we have to keep evolving Ozzfest. This is just the beginning.”

Osbourne added that the event was the only festival for “harder-edge bands”.

Tickets for this years Ozzfest will go on sale on May 31st. For more information, check out our new look Gig Guide.
