COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) - Ozzy Osbourne and his band, heavy metal pioneers Black Sabbath, will be one of the top names at this year's Roskilde Festival, one of Europe's largest music events, organizers said Wednesday.

British-born Osbourne and the group will perform in Roskilde, 40 kilometres west of Copenhagen, taking place June 30-July 3. It will be the band's sole summer festival appearance, organizers said in a statement, adding Green Day and The Dears were also on the 2005 program for the four-day festival.

Last year, 75,000 tickets were sold for the outdoor event where more than 150 artists performed on Roskilde's six stages, including the Pixies, Morrissey, Sahara Hotnights and Avril Lavigne.

Osbourne, who grew up in Birmingham, central England, rose to stardom with heavy metal group Black Sabbath in the 1970s before launching a solo career.

First held in 1971, the festival in Roskilde, 40 kilometres west of the capital, Copenhagen, was inspired by the 1969 Woodstock Festival in upstate New York. The event, which in recent years has appeared on MTV, attracts visitors from throughout Europe and the United States.
