It seems Ozzy Osbourne’s withdrawal from the festival has opened for more time for Slayer’s set.

It’s the biggest event on the calendar year for Aussies who are into hard-rock, metal, emo, and punk. And now we can start to get set for what will undoubtedly be a big day of melted faces, sweaty pits (arm and mosh), and probably more beers than a Metallica tour in the ’90s.

As anyone who had a ticket is surely aware, festival headliner Ozzy Osbourne had to pull out last week due to health reasons, which is fair enough – he’s 70 years old – which meant Slayer are now taking the crowning headline slot. Check out the set times for Sydney and Melbourne below, and head here to snap up remaining tickets:
