OZZFEST 2004: Unsigned Band Competition Update

June 15, 2004

The Ozzfest organizers have posted the following message at Ozzfest.com regarding the first round of the unsigned band contest which took place last Friday (June 11) in Los Angeles:

"Thanks to all the bands that showed up at the Los Angeles Ozzfest Band Camp auditions. We saw a few hundred bands on Friday and have narrowed it down to some excellent contenders. We assumed that we would mostly draw local L.A. bands but that was not the case at all. You guys came for all over the place for your shot at Ozzfest glory. Good luck to those who have been selected to move ahead to the next round. Now we are off to New York for the same process. Make sure to have your entire band with you and have your applications filled out in their entirety. We will announce the NYC location shortly. Check back soon for more info... AND possibly a sneak peak at some footage from the line of contenders in L.A."

The New York auditions will take place June 18, with details available by calling 800-688-5251.

Eight bands will compete for a chance to perform on the main stage at some point during this summer's Ozzfest tour. The winning band will also be awarded a second stage spot on the 2005 version of the tour, music equipment and a cash prize.
