After days of rumors, supergroup Velvet Revolver has confirmed plans to log some time on this summer's Ozzfest tour.
The group, which is currently mounting its own headlining run, joins Ozzfest's main-stage lineup for the tour's final seven dates, which take place between Aug. 23 and Sept. 4; details are shown below.
The move plugs a hole that Iron Maiden will leave when it drops off the bill at that time.
Also on board for this year's Ozzfest are main-stage acts Black Sabbath, Mudvayne, Shadows Fall and Black Label Society; and second-stage acts Rob Zombie, Killswitch Engage, As I Lay Dying, Mastodon, The Haunted, In Flames, Arch Enemy, The Black Dahlia Murder, Bury Your Dead, Soilwork, Trivium, It Dies Today, A Dozen Furies and others.
Scheduled to kick off on the East Coast in mid-July, Ozzfest will also feature additional attractions at its midway--dubbed the "Village of the Damned"--including tattoo artists, piercing booths, video games and vendors. More information is posted at the tour's website.
