Hard-rocking music fans headed to this year's Ozzfest will experience a special one-time only all-star tribute to fallen Pantera/Damageplan guitarist and Texas native "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott as part of the Saturday, August 9 one-day stadium spectacular at Dallas' Pizza Hut Park.
The tribute to "Dimebag" Darrell will feature Abbott's brother, Vinnie Paul (acting as musical director and playing drums), along with an array of prominent hard rockers. This not-to-be-missed performance will salute the acclaimed guitarist whose December 2004 murder while performing onstage at a Columbus, Ohio club still has the hard rock/metal community reeling.
Artists already confirmed to honor "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott include: Kerry King (Slayer), Jerry Cantrell (Alice In Chains), Mike Inez (Alice In Chains), King Diamond, Scott Ian (Anthrax), Charlie Benante (Anthrax), Kirk Hammett (Metallica), Jamey Jasta (Hatebreed, Kingdom Of Sorrow), Chad Gray (Mudvayne, Hellyeah), Bob Zilla (Damageplan, Hellyeah).
