The 2006 edition of that summer of molten metal known as Ozzfest will only have Ozzy on selected dates. Hardly a problem, however, because headlining the other dates is the mighty System of a Down. Disturbed, Hatebreed and Lacuna Coil will also be main stage attractions. On May 23rd, there will be an announcement of the addition of major name in metal.

The popular second stage is not too shabby itself. You can look forward to performances by Black Label Society, Atreyu, Unearth, Bleeding Through, Norma Jean, A Life Once Lost, Strapping Young Lad, The Red Chord, Full Blown Chaos, Walls of Jericho, All That Remains, and Between the Buried and Me.
