Fozzy have confirmed a 13-date UK headline tour for February 2026, celebrating 25 years in the game. The tour includes a stop at Manchester’s O2 Ritz in February. The Manchester gig is one of 13 UK dates they have announced, with the band set to deliver a career-spanning set and showcase their new single Fall In Line.
Speaking on the new material, frontman Chris Jericho said, “Fall In Line is the most exciting and unique song Fozzy has ever recorded. It’s everything we’ve stood for over the last 25 years: heavy, melodic, defiant and built to blow minds live.”
Jericho added, “We started out just jamming and figuring it all out. 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.”
Fozzy’s lineup features Jericho on vocals, guitarist Rich Ward, drummer Grant Brooks, bassist PF Farley and guitarist Billy Grey. Known for their relentless energy and sharp hooks, the band’s breakthrough single Judas has surpassed 150 million streams and earned gold status.
Reflecting on their longstanding relationship with UK audiences, Jericho said, “The UK’s always felt like a second home. We’ve played everywhere, not just London or Glasgow. We love reaching fans in places big and small. Every crowd here brings something unique.”
Their latest tour follows a major performance at Wembley Stadium in 2023, where 81,000 fans sang Judas in unison. Support on the 2026 run comes from British metal band Tailgunner and rising rock outfit Marisa and the Moths.
