- The Ludlow Thieves will join Cary Hudson and Joe Kile at Siberia for an early show at 6 p.m. Get details on Facebook
As for Ozzy... The Ozzman Rocked!
Not only did he show, he killed it. You have to love Ozzy, the rocker who pours a bucket of water over his head when buckets are pouring from the sky and drops to his knees in a humble bow to an audience who worships him. He ended a set of favorites including Iron Man with Crazy Train and two encores, Mamma I'm Coming Home and Paranoid,
