Fozzy Announce 25th Anniversary Tour
For 25 years, Fozzy has earned its reputation for being unapologetic with no signs of that changing anytime soon. Now, the Atlanta-based metal outfit, which features world-renowned wrestler Chris Jericho, has announced their 25th Anniversary tour. The tour will begin on October 3rd in Woodstock, Georgia and will end on October 20th in Flint, Michigan with The Nocturnal Affair and Clozure serving as support.
"It's hard to believe that a band that was once accused of being a 'wrestler's vanity project,' has now amassed six Top 10 Mainstream Rock Radio hits, released eight albums, toured the world in over 20 countries, and earned a GOLD RECORD.....but we have and we've been doing it for 25 YEARS. Not many bands can say that, and out of the ones that can, not many of those can say they are currently at their creative, artistic, and commercial peaks. Yet Fozzy can and we are damn proud of it! That's why we are so excited to bring our 25th anniversary celebration to your city over the next 18 months, starting in October. We have built a reputation of being a band you don't wanna miss, and we take great pride in that because it’s the truth!….so, as always, crank up the music, buy your tickets early, and wear a helmet. Because this is our 25th Year Rock 'N' Roll Party…and we aren't f'ing around. See you soon!"
- Chris Jericho on the band’s remarkable milestone
With eight studio albums under their belt, a rigorous touring schedule and even sharing the stage with bands like Metallica, KISS, and Iron Maiden, the band has earned their spot but it wasn’t until the release of Judas in 2017 that the band would reach mainstream levels. The title song, “Judas” has earned Gold RIAA status and sits at #1 on Spotify with over 71 millions streams and is Jericho’s entrance music which has fans singing along to it word by word. Fans even sang along to it when FOZZY performed in front of 81,000 fans at AEW's record-breaking Wembley Stadium show. The band is currently experiencing their highest success to date, with their latest single “Spotlight” landing their sixth Top 10 single. The song sits at #3 on Spotify with over 700,000 streams and the music video reaching over 128,000 views.
