Black Tide Back On Ozzfest

By jason

Teenage rockers Black Tide have rejoined traveling rock festival Ozzfest, after promoters realised they were too young to perform on a stage sponsored by a liquor company.

The underage Miami, Florida band was due to appear on the U.S. music festival's second stage but were recently told they cannot play because of Jägermeister's sponsorship.

However, after fans began swamping internet message boards complaining about the band's treatment, Ozzfest organizer Sharon Osbourne swiftly reinstated Black Tide - on the main stage.

Black Tide will join the Ozzfest tour in Chicago, Illinois on August 10.
