Ozzy Osbourne Announced As First Download Festival 2018 Headliner
Time to get your tickets for the Crazy Train....
The Prince Of Darkness and all things metal Ozzy Osbourne has been announced as the first headliner for Download Festival 2018. Fun fact: this will be the first time he's headlined the festival as part of his solo career.
Talking about the booking, festival organiser Andy Copping, said:“We’re unbelievably excited to have Ozzy as one of the headliners next year. Already hailing from the midlands, Ozzy Osbourne is no stranger to Download, and after Black Sabbath closed the festival in 2016, how could I not ask The Prince of Darkness to come back all on his own? The Download family are without a shadow of a doubt, in for a treat.”
Download Festival 2018 takes place between 8 - 10 June 2018 at the legendary Donington Park in Derby.
