Fozzy, the rock band led by Chris Jericho, will continue to rock its fans across America on its “Judas Rising” tour with newly added tour dates in 2018. Set to launch Feb. 28 in New Orleans, Louisiana, the 25-date trek will take the band (Jericho: vocals, Rich Ward: guitars, vocals, Frank Fontsere: drums, Billy Grey: guitars and Paul DiLeo: bass) from east to west, including stops in Los Angeles on March 10 and New York City on April 5, before bringing it back across the country through the spring. Through Fire, Santa Cruz and Dark Star Choir will round out the bill. Tickets for these newly announced dates (see below for list) go on sale to the public Friday, Dec. 8.
“I’m stoked to do this extensive tour of the States now that ‘Judas,’ the song, is a top five rock radio hit and “Judas,” the album, has gone top 40!” Jericho said. “Fozzy is bigger than we’ve ever been, which means bigger production, bigger songs and bigger lighted jackets! So we can’t wait to rock your literal socks off starting in February!! JUDAS IS RISING!”
“I started playing guitar because of how deeply powerful the experience of going to concerts was for me,” Ward said. “With a hit single and a new album pushing Fozzy to new heights, I can’t wait to get back on the road in America to capture the power that only live music can create. Make sure to bring a helmet and your dancing shoes when Fozzy rolls through your town.”
The upcoming dates come on the heels of the October release of the band’s seventh album, “Judas” (Century Media).
The album’s title track and single “Judas” was released in May 2017, becoming a top five hit at active rock radio. The song also spent five weeks at number one on the “Big Uns Countdown” on Sirius/XM’s Octane channel and has amassed over 11 million views for its video on YouTube.
