Review from The Pitch - 'Blood, Sweat and Beers -
Underage drinking, girls gone wild and heavy metal in the sun. Ozzfest is back.' by Jason Bracelin (August 4th, 2004)

From Blabbermouth (July 20th): "Central Ohio's WBNS TV is reporting that police went undercover Tuesday night (July 20) at Ozzfest in Columbus, OH to bust people with drugs and teens with alcohol. [Watch video here]

The annual traveling heavy metal festival — headlined this year by BLACK SABBATH and JUDAS PRIEST — attracts thousands of screaming fans. But for some, the night of music and good times ended in arrests at Polaris Ampitheater.

Officers say they're not trying to ruin a good time — just the opposite.  State agents say if they don't crack down before and during the show, the aftermath can be mayhem.

Sue Ann Cook of the Ohio Investigative Unit told 10 TV's Maureen Kocot, "At the end of the concert the number of DUIs would be through the roof...the number of fights would be through the roof."

Officers made a total of 73 arrests for underage drinking and drug use.
