Judas Priest have replaced Ozzy Osbourne at the Power Trip festival in Indio, California.
When Ozzy said he was pulling out of the festival because he wasn't physically ready he mentioned that "personal friends of mine" would be taking his slot, and Priest certainly fits the bill. They were scheduled to open for Ozzy on his farewell tour in Europe in 2022, but that trek was scrapped because of Ozzy's health.
Priest said in a statement, "We are ready to raise double horns way up high together keeping the metal faith at this 'bostin' one of a kind Power Trip world event!"
They'll be performing on October 7th with AC/DC. The rest of the fest is unchanged, with Guns n' Roses and Iron Maiden on October 6th and Metallica and Tool on October 8th.
