Future launches OzzFest mag to celebrate event's return to UK

Future Publishing has launched a one-off collector's edition of Metal Hammer, dedicated to Ozzfest, which returns to the UK after a hiatus of more than five years.

The 132-page magazine was printed by Polestar Colchester, although the print run was not disclosed, and is being distributed to retailers across the UK, as well as to the O2 Arena, which hosts the event on 18 September.

The special edition will be available as an 'OzzPack' for £7.99 and includes other collectable items.

Chris Ingham, Future's group publisher for its rock brands, said: "Metal Hammer is proud to support the return of the mighty OzzFest to UK shores.

"We couldn't think of any better way to honour the man and the festival than issuing this unique collector's edition OzzPack."
