The 2017 installment of Ozzfest Meets Knotfest has been announced and is slated to take place on Saturday, November 4 and Sunday, November 5 at the Glen Helen Amphitheater and Festival Grounds in San Bernardino, California. The roster can be viewed above.
“The festival was created in 1996 by Ozzy Osbourne’s wife and manager, Sharon Osbourne, after she was rebuffed by Lollapalooza when she tried to get Ozzy on that festival circuit. The tour was well-received, which prompted the festival to become a yearly occurrence. The first Ozzfest was not a national tour, but rather a two-day festival held in Phoenix, Arizona and Devore, California on 25 and 26 October 1996 respectively. In 1997, there were large protests outside of the festival to cancel Marilyn Manson’s performance. However, no dates were cancelled. There were also protests of a similar nature in 2001, following the Columbine High School massacre, which some groups had blamed on Marilyn Manson.
In 1998, Ozzfest ventured outside the United States for the first time into the United Kingdom, which featured a different line-up of bands. The festival would eventually return to the UK in 2001 and 2002.” – Wiki
