Bucking trend, Ozzfest admission: free
 

Pretty interesting to see how this will go:

wow. thats pretty interesting. well the whole thing started as a way for new bands to get exposure and promote themselves, and I think this will put the focus back on that and not so much the 'headliners'.

They are not just opening the gates and letting people in you have to have a ticket. Everyone and their brother who likes Rock will want to go.

already planning for Aug 5th @ the VA Beach Pavilion. hopefully its not insanely hard to get the tickets through these sponsor sites.
