Osbournes select new band for Ozzfest through TV show

Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne are fronting an MTV show in which eight bands compete for a slot at next year's Ozzfest, plus equipment and tour money.

Ozzy Osbourne and Sharon Osbourne are set to front a new MTV show which will see eight new bands compete for a slot at next year's Ozzfest. The winning band will also win music equipment and tour money, with the possibility of a recording contract.

Each episode of the show will see the eight competing bands being put through the everyday tasks of being on tour. Sharon Osbourne explains: "Life on the road isn't always what it's cracked up to be and our bands are going to find that out, the hard way". Quite how the couple will then choose the winning band is not yet clear, but Sharon hopes that appearing on the show and at Ozzfest will prove an effective launching pad for the winning band, adding: "Ozzfest has long been the launch pad for so many new acts, all who have gone on to multi-platinum success".
