OZZFEST,  the iconic global touring hard rock music festival launched by Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne, has today announced its full artist lineup, along with a first-look of its much anticipated OZZFEST experience. 

Ozzy Osbourne, Motorhead, Megadeth, Black Label Society, Skid Row, The Raven Age, and Britoff will be topping the bill as confirmed acts as OZZFEST becomes the first IRL festival in music history to enter the metaverse. OzzFest 2022 will be hosted by OzzFest MC Big Dave.

Taking place in Decentraland from 10th -13th November with its own dedicated land parcel including two stages as part of the Metaverse Music Festival, OZZFEST will be free for all to attend, with no VR, ticket or headset required. 

The festival will also include VIP viewing access and free wearable merchandise exclusively for Ozzy Osbourne’s famed NFT CryptoBatz holders. 

CryptoBatz NFT holders will be able to “take a potion”, transform into a bat and fly to a private balcony to watch the shows from a much closer viewpoint. This is in addition to free, exclusive wearables. 

Unlike previous IRL (in real life) festivals, the stage for OZZFEST in the metaverse promises to be unconstrained by the boundaries of reality, set in a sprawling gothic castle with a giant OZZFEST logo emblazoned on the front, offering hard rock fans a totally unique one-of-a-kind experience. 

With the Decentraland Metaverse Music Festival attracting over 50,000 unique attendees over four days in 2021, the 2022 edition is set to be even bigger. It will feature 15 stages (including OzzFest), and over 100 artists across uniquely curated stages, showcasing the next frontier of metaverse - with newly created, Web3-enabled, immersive music experiences. 

Speaking following the success of his chart-topping new Patient Number 9 album, Ozzy Osbourne says: “I'm thrilled to be bringing OZZFEST to the metaverse. This allows me and the other bands on the bill to reach our fans in a new innovative way.” 

To date, OZZFEST is the only Metal/Rock Festival of its kind to be hosted virtually. It promises to push the boundaries of what has been seen before in a virtual music festival with such an extensive line up of legendary artists. OZZFEST is part of the larger, Metaverse Music Festival hosted on Decentraland from November 10th-13th 2022.
