Axcording to Ozzy Osbourne's website, the Saturday at this year's Download Festival is to be an Ozzfest Day.

Ozzfest last happened in the UK at Donington in '02 - which included a performance from Ozzy, and Ozzfest at Milton Keynes in 2001 had Black Sabbath play. As Black Sabbath are already confirmed for the Roskilde Festival in Denmark on 1st July, we think it most likely that Download will also feature Black Sabbath.

No bands are confirmed for Ozzfest 2005 as yet, for either the USA or the UK.

In other news, it looks highly likely that Download Festival is to be expanded to three days this year, with an "indie day" onm the Friday. It looks highly likely that Feeder will be one of the bands to play.

Download Festival is expected to take place from 10-12th June, at Donington Park, Leicestershire. No Download is expected in Scotland this year.

There's been no official announcements for Download as yet - the first announcements for this year's Download are expected on Wednesday 9th February.
