Controversy has surrounded the tour since it was first announced. Mainly because the die-hard Ozzfest/Ozzy fans are mad that Ozzfest is only a one date show instead of an entire U.S. tour. While some say that it's only to get the fans riled up, much like last year's Ozzfest being the last one.
Other fans aren't so distraught about it, just merely bought tickets to another tour.
