major news from IronMaiden.com... MAIDEN to take main stage at OZZFEST '05:

IRON MAIDEN has confirmed today that they will co-headline the USA tour for
OZZFEST this summer, along with the OZZY-led BLACK SABBATH and ANTHRAX's "Among
the Living" lineup (featuring vocalist Joey Belladonna, guitarist Dan Spitz and
bassist Frank Bello) , with many more main stage and second stage bands to be
announced soon.

IRON MAIDEN will be also be headling many European Festivals this summer (prior
to OZZFEST tour), and during tha same time, BLACK SABBATH will be headling the
out-of-U.S. OZZFEST dates, including an OZZFEST day within the U.K.'s Download
Festival.

OZZY himself said in a U.K. interview today: "We've hoped to get MAIDEN in our
tour forever, and this is the 10th year." (all indications are that this is
likely the final year for OZZFEST) "both of these old (English) bands will have
the time of their lives rockin' America and fans will get their rocks off, too."
(This will be MAIDEN's first stadium tour in the USA in 10 years)...
