Ozzfest is an annual rock/metal gig that tours the United States, it features performances from the best heavy metal groups. The tour was developed by Ozzy Osbourne and his wife, Sharon Osbourne.

The tour consists of two performing stages, the first stage consists of the leading and major artists that have already made a name for themselves and the second stage features lesser-known or new groups. The Ozzfest was launched in 1996 and was meant as a limited two-city tour. But its popularity grew so much that it turned into an annual event. Since then the tour has become the stepping stone for many of today's top metal and rock bands. This Ozzfest's second stage has been instrumental in establishing the careers of Linkin Park, Limp Bizkit, Incubus, Slipknot, Disturbed and Godsmack.
