Ozzfest might not being doing too many shows in the States, but the touring festival sure is getting more stamps on its passport this year. We already heard about Ozzfest U.K., but now it’s been announced that an Ozzfest show will be taking place in Israel as well. The Israeli edition will feature Ozzy, Korn and more bands to be announced shortly, and will take place on September 28 at HaYarkon Park in Tel Aviv. Ticket prices are a bit high, ranging from 325 to 425 Israeli New Shekels (or around $84 to $110 U.S.), and the chances are that the lineup won’t be too much different from the U.K. edition. Either way, though, it’s still pretty cool that more is being done with Ozzfest this Summer. That doesn’t change the fact that this year, in both lineup and number of shows, is much weaker than in the past. However, it seems like the festival is taking tentative steps instead of going all out and failing, like many other tours and festivals have done this year.
