Fozzy – the band led by vocalist and former professional wrestler Chris Jericho – will hit the road this October for a 25th anniversary tour. And I know you're asking yourselves "has Fozzy really been around for 25 years?" Yup! They started in 1999 as Fozzy Osbourne, shortened their name to Fozzy in 2000, and released their debut album.
Get those dates below (feat. Nocturnal Affair and Clozure), and get your tickets here.
"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," said Jericho.
"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!"
He added: "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!"
