Ozzfest is set to return to the UK this autumn for the first time in over five years.

The one-off event at London's O2 Arena on September 18 will feature Ozzy Osbourne, Korn, Murderdolls and Skindred.

Ozzfest will take over the entire venue, with details about a special guest, as well as an additional second stage, due to be announced shortly.

The event will also feature a Village Of The Damned, with fairground rides, stalls and tattooists.

“It means a lot to bring Ozzfest back to the UK,” Osbourne, who will headline the event, said.

“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.”

Tickets go on sale on Friday (June 18) at 9am.
