FOZZY ANNOUNCE HEADLINE FEBRUARY 2026 UK TOUR 

CELEBRATING 25 YEARS OF 

HARD-HITTING ROCK & ROLL DOMINATION

British rock fans, gear up. FOZZY, the platinum-pounding powerhouse fronted by wrestling and rock icon Chris Jericho, are set to extend their monumental 25th Anniversary Tour to the UK this February 2026 and it’s shaping up to be their biggest and boldest run yet.
 
With a reputation built on blistering live performances, infectious hooks, and pure rock ‘n’ roll spectacle, FOZZY’s return to the UK promises a setlist stacked with fan favourites and their latest heavy-hitting anthem Fall In Line. Released via Madison Records, Fall In Line is a sonic sledgehammer, a razor-edged, riff-fuelled call to arms that’s already turning heads across US rock radio. The track exemplifies FOZZY’s ongoing evolution as a band unafraid to push boundaries while staying true to their high-voltage roots.
 
Fall In Line is the most exciting and unique song FOZZY has ever recorded,” says frontman Chris Jericho“It’s everything we’ve stood for over the last 25 years: heavy, melodic, defiant and built to blow minds live.”
 
What began in the early 2000s as a cover project has become a true rock juggernaut. Over the past two decades, FOZZY have gone from cult status to mainstream metal success, boasting seven consecutive Top 20 hits, a Gold-certified single in Judas (with over 150 million streams), 500K monthly Spotify listeners and a cult-like global following.

“We started out just jamming and figuring it all out,” Jericho recalls. “But since 2010, we’ve gone full-time, and the results speak for themselves. 25 years later, we’re bigger than ever  and not many bands can say that.”

The lineup that’s rocked thousands of stages remains as explosive as ever with the superstar showmanship of frontman Chris Jericho tag-teamed with co-founder and guitar genius Rich Ward.  The backbone of their sound comes from the killer combination of Grant Brooks on drums, bassist PF Farley and Billy Grey leading the charge on guitar shredding solos. It’s only good times and guaranteed electric performances no matter the crowd or country.

FOZZY has always shared a deep connection with UK fans. Since their first visit in 2005, they’ve consistently returned, not just to major cities, but to rock loving towns across the country.

“The UK’s always felt like a second home,” Jericho explains. “We’ve played everywhere, not just London or Glasgow. We love reaching fans in places big and small. Every crowd here brings something unique.”

From tearing up the stage alongside Metallica, Iron Maiden, and Avenged Sevenfold, to leading their own sold-out headlining tours, FOZZY’s live legacy continues to grow. Their 2023 performance at AEW’s sold-out Wembley Stadium show was a watershed moment, with 81,000 fans singing Judas in unison, a moment that cemented FOZZY’s global rock status.
 
The support bill elevates two of the UK’s most exciting new bands with the old school British heavy metal TAILGUNNER fresh off their busy summer festival schedule and European tour with Steel Panther. Opening the show, fresh from fronting Sophie Lloyd at Download Festival, is the rapidly emerging Marisa and the Moths.
 
This is more than a concert tour, it’s a celebration of 25 years of defiant, hook-laden, unapologetic rock ‘n’ roll from one of the genre’s most exciting and unique acts.

“When you come to a FOZZY show,” Jericho says, “you better wear a helmet and buckle your seatbelt — because it’s going to be one hell of a ride.”
 

So buckle up Britain, FOZZY is back. And they’re bringing the noise!
