Chris Jericho Announces Fozzy UK Tour 2026 Amid AEW Absence—New Venues and Surprises Await Fans

Published:

Chris Jericho has revealed that his rock band Fozzy will embark on a UK tour in 2026, grabbing the attention of fans amid his ongoing absence from All Elite Wrestling. This update about the Chris Jericho Fozzy UK Tour 2026 comes as Jericho continues to step back from wrestling, focusing on his music endeavors.

Jericho Shares Major Music News While Taking Break From AEW

After a two-month hiatus from AEW, Jericho made his latest announcement through X (formerly Twitter), surprising his followers with plans for another international tour. The celebrated wrestler and musician, known as The Learning Tree and The Ocho, last competed in the ring at AEW Dynasty 2025. He took a break following that event to commemorate Fozzy’s 25th Anniversary Tour from April 17 to May 12, further fueling rumors about his future in wrestling.

While still not returning to the Tony Khan-led AEW, Jericho disclosed that Fozzy will travel to the United Kingdom for a new round of live concerts. He specifically thanked fans for their support during previous tours, highlighting their enthusiasm as a key motivation for the band‘s return. Jericho promised that this time, Fozzy would perform at new venues across England, introducing audiences to fresh songs and vibrant nights of celebration during the 2026 tour.

According to Jericho’s announcement, the tour is scheduled to kick off on February 6, 2026, in Brighton, England, and will conclude in Wolverhampton on February 21, 2026. Fans are anticipating that Jericho will once again set aside his wrestling obligations to fully immerse himself in his music career during this period.

Setbacks in AEW Spark Increased Focus on Fozzy

Jericho’s decision to prioritize Fozzy comes after a dramatic turn at AEW Dynasty. He defended his ROH World Championship against Bandido, who put his mask at stake in the high-stakes contest. During the match, Jericho utilized questionable tactics, including an unpermitted attack using a baseball bat, which initially allowed him to claim victory. However, after a referee intervened and restarted the match, Bandido capitalized on the opportunity to execute his finishing move and capture the championship. The referee’s determination played a crucial role in altering the outcome of the bout.

Following the defeat, tension arose between Jericho and his allies Big Bill and Bryan Keith. Jericho openly blamed his teammates, expressing his frustration over their inability to help him retain his title. The veteran, age 54, ultimately exited the next episode of Dynamite, stating that separation might be in everyone’s best interest.

What Fans Can Expect From the Upcoming Tour

This new chapter for Fozzy promises not only new venues but also a refreshed energy, as the band gears up to unveil new music during multiple nights across the United Kingdom. With his wrestling persona on hold, Chris Jericho intends to offer fans a memorable concert experience, aiming to match—if not surpass—the excitement of previous tours. Jericho’s absence from AEW casts uncertainty on his wrestling future, raising questions about how long he will remain focused on music before possibly returning to the ring. The unique blend of Jericho’s wrestling and rock stardom continues to captivate audiences, keeping the spotlight on both AEW and Fozzy as they await his next big move.
