The Press Association reports:

OZZY OSBOURNE is searching for an unsigned band to open for him at the iTunes festival.

The Prince Of Darkness has teamed up with MySpace to give one up-and-coming act the rock opportunity of a lifetime, supporting him at London's Roundhouse on July 3rd as he returns with his superb new album Scream, out on June 21st.

Ozzy said: "Throughout my career I've felt this obligation to give up-and-coming bands a leg up in the music business. I've taken out bands from MÖTLEY CRÜE to METALLICA to SYSTEM OF A DOWN and SLIPKNOT on their first big tours. I'm looking to give a new band a huge f**"ing break by having them open the show."

Classic Rock Revisited has issued a new audio interview with Ozzy. The interview can be heard in two parts below:

In other Ozzy related news, as previously reported, the legendary touring behemoth that is OZZFest is set to hit the UK with a one-off date at London’s O2 arena on September 18th. Ozzy will be accompanied on the main stage by KORN, MURDERDOLLS and SKINDRED, plus a special guest TBC, with more acts still to be announced for the second stage. In addition to the music on offer, Ozzy and co will take over the entire O2 complex, offering up a Village Of The Damned, with fairground rides, stalls and tattooists.

The 2010 package will be the first UK OZZFest show in over five years, and is also the first time the O2 features a general admission format on the lower bowl; GA ticket holders will be able to choose between watching the show from seats, or the specially enlarged standing area. Top level tickets will also be available offering the usual seating.

Headlined by Ozzy Osbourne, the legendary Prince Of Darkness will lead the charge. Ozzy - who’s solo albums have all achieved top 40 chart success in the UK - is currently gearing up to release his 10th studio album “Scream”, which will hit the streets on June 21st. With his recent book “I Am Ozzy” enjoying top 10 positions in book charts the world over, the time is perfect for OZZFest’s return to the birthplace of metal, and with the awesome supporting cast that Ozzy brings with him, fans are in for a truly special day.

States Ozzy: “It means a lot to bring OZZFest back to the UK. This is the first time that we’re bringing OZZFest indoors. The O2 is the perfect place to hold a festival. Let it rain, let it hail, let it thunder, because we’ll be rocking inside.”

Flying in from Bakerfield, USA, the multi-million selling, Grammy Award-winning Korn will be showcasing new material from their forthcoming new album, “Korn III - Remember Who You Are”, whose first single ‘Oildale (Remember Who You Are)’ is out today.

"We're extremely excited to be playing OZZFest in Europe” comments guitarist Munky. “Ozzy is an absolute legend, mentor, and dear friend of mine, so it's always an honour to perform on the same bill as him. We can't wait!"

OZZFest will also offer the opportunity for UK fans to give Murderdolls a hearty welcome back from the dead after a six year absence. Joey Jordison and Wednesday 13 return with Women and Children Last at the end of August, and their set at OZZFest will see the horror-rockers airing brand new material for the first time since their 2002 debut.

Welsh raga-punks and former Korn touring partners Skindred come armed with a truly unique blend of metal, punk, rap and reggae for their O2 arena debut. Charismatic frontman Benji Webbe expresses his delight at being part of the most well established touring package in the world of metal.

"Its been sometime since the OZZFest has reached these UK shores, Skindred are highly honoured and excited to be joining the legend that is Ozzy Osbourne and taking part in this monstrous event. The Metal public know this one’s gonna rock harder dan all da res..."
