Following in the footsteps of Lollapalooza, the highly successful traveling Ozzfest tour is rumored to be morphing into a two-day destination festival. The location is said to be Dallas, Tevas. Here's the story:

The rumors come in the wake of this year's arrival of the metal-oriented Rockstar Energy Mayhem Tour, which will play 30 North American amphitheaters during July and August, the time when Ozzfest is traditionally making its rounds.

Last year's Ozzfest offered free admission, with fans acquiring tickets mostly through sponsoring web sites. But the acts were not paid either, which resulted in a decidedly less than impressive main stage lineup. The Mayhem trek has already robbed Ozzfest of two potential main-stage heavyweights in Disturbed and Slipknot, with fan favorites Dragonforce and Mastodon also taking part in the Mayhem tour.
