Battle for Ozzfest is a reality TV show that aired during autumn 2004 on MTV, where eight bands 'battle' it out in a series of challenges to win a spot on the stage of the metal festival Ozzfest, which is a primarily heavy metal-subgenre based music festival. The series lasted 12 episodes, the winner being decided by online voters.
In the first episode, one member from each band will be selected to represent his or her band mates on tour in a set of challenges that could make rock and roll dreams become Ozzfest nightmares. With a motley crew of rock & roll characters all living on the same bus and fighting for the same dream, anything can happen--especially when your bosses are Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Slayer, Slipknot and Hatebreed, among others.

All eight of the finalists arrive at the Osbourne mansion, and get to meet Sharon and Ozzy themselves! Big Dave gets the roadies adjusted to the bus and all the rules, and afterwords, allow them to meet Jamey Jasta from Hatebreed. They walk around the Ozzfest grounds, and listen to Black Sabbath perform. Earlier, Big Dave said their curfew was 11 PM. They arrive back at where the bus is at 10 PM, but the bus is missing. They search everywhere, but can not find it. Will the eight of them be stranded at the first stop on the Ozzfest tour?
