Osbourne recently completed a run of overseas festival appearances and headlining overseas performances which included his first ever concert in Israel, a September OZZFest show at Hayarkon Park in Tel Aviv. The Tel Aviv show was hailed by a number of outlets for its electric atmosphere and overall performance by Osbourne including www.ynet.co.il which described it as "one of the most important rock events in Israel, if not THE most important...there is no one that can contest Ozzy Osbourne's charisma and madness. Park Hayarkon was awash with energies and foam at the main performance of the OZZfest..." The www.mouse.co.il wrote, "The crowd was versatile and colorful, the other bands on the bill were great, but the real star of OZZfest was, undoubtedly, Ozzy Osbourne. The metal legend last night at Hayarkon Park gave a show worth living for."
