Ozzy Osbourne to play NZ concert

Veteran rocker and reality television superstar Ozzy Osbourne is to join American glam metallers Kiss in the two-day Rock2Wgtn music festival in Wellington next Easter.

Kiss will open the festival at Westpac Stadium on March 22 and Osbourne will headline the second night on March 23, The Dominion Post reports.

Osbourne, 58, was founder of British heavy rock band Black Sabbath in the early 70s and has since had a high-profile solo career.

His biggest success has come from the television show The Osbournes.

The Times this year estimated Osbourne and his wife to be worth at least £100 million ($278 million).
