Yes it’s true, you can go to Ozzfest for free this year courtesy of Ozzfest’s sponsors. Another brilliant move by Ozzy and Sharon. Drop music into the ‘feels free’ category and everyone wins, I’ve been saying it all along.

About Pampelmoose
-
Dave Allen, co-founder, president
Pampelmoose is a music and MP3 web site covering the eclectic independent music scene. We stay clear of major labels and their artists to avoid having the Web Sheriff gallop through our offices. We are indie at heart so we support all things indie – in all its shapes and forms.
Dave walloped the bass strings and is a founding member of the highly influential, post-punk band, Gang of Four. With his business partner, Ned Failing, he started Pampelmoose in 2005. We love music and we love the way the internet leveled the playing field for all artists.
Josh Kneedler, co-founder and author
Josh Kneedler is a highly experienced interactive designer. He began working in online media in 1997 at the birth of the interactive world, a world we now take for granted, one that has become as common as the utilities we use at home. His skills consist of design, programming, and creative direction. It’s an eclectic mix, but one that is vital to pursuing new ventures where traditional broadcast media rules do not apply. Josh understands that music artists no longer need traditional record labels. A consumer in Japan may never have heard of our local Northwest music scene so local bands need a different way to promote their independently produced CDs. Josh has the necessary skills and experience that highlight innovation over imitation to tackle contemporary challenges in the world of interactive programming, design and creative marketing. Some of Josh’s work can be seen on his web site: http://www.joshkneedler.net

Music as a loss leader to market other products…sounds great!
February 7th, 2007 at 10:04 ami just blacked out. what just happened?
February 7th, 2007 at 11:32 pmwake up Josh! everything in the world of music is now free! go cash in buddy…feels free, an idea whose time has come – lunchtime…
February 7th, 2007 at 11:40 pmI love the idea, but hate the crowds that will come with it. I SINCERELY hope these Ozzfest folks respect the fire codes, enforce capacity regulations, blah blah blah. Safety first, please.
Call me paranoid.
Think they will stream it on the web for free as well? ;-)
February 8th, 2007 at 7:24 amI don’t think that admission to the festival is on a show up basis. you have to go through the sponsors to get tickets, hence my comment about ‘feels free’ – there really is no such thing as a free lunch..
February 8th, 2007 at 8:27 amAhh, that makes MUCH more sense. And it’s brilliant as it probably forces clicks and page views on sponsor websites or somesuch as well.
