Ozzy Osbourne lit up the Altar Stage during a stormy Halloween night at the Voodoo Music + Arts Experience. The 66 year-old heavy metal icon was joined by his backing band, as well as a trio of hard rock legends that included Black Sabbath’s Geezer Butler, Guns N’ Roses’ Slash and Rage Against the Machine’s Tom Morello.
Osbourne delivered an explosive performance that included many of Black Sabbath’s timeless hits like “Iron Man,” “War Pigs” and many more. The singer also had a flair for the theatrical as he doused the already-soaked crowd with a firehose full of some kind of soapy liquid. The all-star band closed its set with a crowd-pleasing “Crazy Train” before return for an encore that included “Mama, I’m Coming Home” and the highly anticipated “Paranoid.”
While’ Osbourne’s headlining set marked the peak of Saturday’s festivities, thousands of fans trekked through the rain and mud to see a variety of acts at Voodoo yesterday. Other highlights included an Altar Stage performance by alternative rock legends Jane’s Addiction, who treated the crowd to material from their classic albums Nothing’s Shocking and Ritual de lo habitual. Lettuce also closed out the Flambeau Stage with their signature funk sound, while Swedish House Mafia veteran Steve Angello brought an EDM spectacle to the Le Plur Stage.
