Our hopes for Ozzy Osbourne’s health to finally improve and for him to go back on the road this year have just been shattered.
The Power Trip Festival is no doubt one of the most anticipated events in the world of Heavy Metal this year, and not only because it will finally gather Iron Maiden and Metallica on one stage, but also because it was supposed be the site of not one but two loud comebacks, marking the first AC/DC concert with Brian Johnson since 2016, and the first Ozzy Osbourne live show in nearly 5 years.
Yet sadly today Ozzy announced that he has to cancel his appearance at this year’s Power Trip Festival.
00:00 – Intro
00:10 – Ozzy cancels
01:13 – Nothing but respect
02:43 – So who will replace him?

Exactly O Z Z Y We Love You! 🤘💖
Zeppelin 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Ok hear me out if it’s not JP maybe Megadeth but I’m not Dave is friends with Ozzy
It will be Sarah Silverman performing a Woke comedy routine accompanied by Steve Martin on the banjo.
Def Leppard.
Bruce will be happy the bitch Sharon won't be around
Priest is highly unlikely. They’re not that big in the States, and with the ticket prices that PT has, they can only put big names on the roaster.
Maybe Scorpions?!?
I'd definitely say Priest will replace Ozzy..
being personal friends.. plus Rob's stood in for Ozzy in Sabbath a couple of times before.
Agreed. I believe it to be Judas Priest. If not motley crue is another possibility
Watch it be Motley Crue 😂
At first i thought OH MY GOD DIO but then i remembered. Have you ever made a video about ronnie james?
Me!
I called this 11 days ago on the Power Trip facebook group, I said Creed would reunite and take his place.
Totally missing the point here. Power Trip is a big commercial, corporate event and apparently metal fans didn't really buy into this Coachella vibes (as originally they have been planning 2 weekends but first is far from being sold out). They need a big draw, big name to fit the bill instead of Ozzy. With all due respect to Priest, they are commercially at like 1/4 of Ozzy's size in the US – drawing maybe 3-4k people a night on their own tours. Maybe reunion of Rob-Glenn-KK trio would be a better sell but we know it won't happen. The festival need a stronger bill commercially. Rumours are it could be Rage Against The Machine (huge in the US), Aerosmith (who will be in the middle of their farewell tour in Autumn) or Motley Crue. All 3 bands being bigger in the US than Priest – those are just facts…
It 110% not be priest, You can charge the same for the Saturday Bill and have Priest fill it, They are already having issues selling tickets.I love Priest, But they were to be the opening act for Ozzys last Tour.
Aerosmith has a gap in there peace out tour for over a week on these dates the festival is being played, This looks like it was purpose built and to be prepared if ozzy can’t pull the trigger.
Or sadly it will be Motley Crüe.. Who is now a shell of what they used to be..
Judas Priest is the best option.
1- they are the most important metal band of all time!
2- they fit the theme of the weekend perfectly
I know they aren't as big as they once was and Rob cant hit the high notes anymore but it still would be a good fit. And if Rob and Ian would pull heads out of their ass and bring KK back it would be that much better.
I have to go with JP as well. Slava Ukraini from the US
I agree on Maiden to announce USA dates soon 🤘
I love AC/DC, but imagine an Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Metallica and Megadeth tour… now that would be a whole other level
Ozzy at his last appearance was just sad. His band was amazing but it was difficult to watch him struggle through the set. To continue performing in this state risks tarnishing his legacy.
WE WERE RIGHT!!!! THEY JUST ANNOUNCED PRIEST!!!!!
Love me some Judas Priest and have seen them multiple times,including the US Festival . Sadly, without Glen an KK, for me, it’s just not the same.
