Three quarters of the original lineup will be on board (Ozzy, Geezer Butler and Tommy Iommi), while Ozzy and Faith No More drummer Mike Bordin will be behind the kit for the dates, which end in West Palm Beach on September 4. the other exciting bit of news is that Ozzfest 2004 will feature sets from a back-together Judas Priest. The Priest lineup will consist of frontman Rob Halford, guitarists Glenn Tipton and K.K. Downing, bassist Ian Hill and drummer Scott Travis.
