The Cornell/Rage project joins a list of previously announced acts that includes System Of A Down, Zakk Wylde's Black Label Society, Soil, Onesidezero, and, of course, tour namesake Ozzy Osbourne. Dates for the summer tour have yet to be announced.
While speculation has long surrounded the Rage/Cornell project, details still remain mostly unknown. However, it is possible that an album will be available by the time the band embarks upon the OzzFest dates.
