FOZZY announced their long-awaited return to the UK capital with a performance at the O2 Forum Kentish Town in London. Promising an explosive night of rock and rap on Friday, the show marks the start of a weekend that culminates with the return of AEW (All Elite Wrestling) to London's Wembley Stadium on Sunday, August 25th.
In addition to having FOZZY, with their heavy melodic groove and fronted by eight-time world champion Chris Jericho, headline the night, fans will be excited to know that current AEW World Champion Swerve Strickland will provide direct support. Swerve Strickland & Flash Garments will perform for the first time as a rap duo in the UK.
Featuring the superstar showmanship of vocalist Chris Jericho teamed with guitar genius Rich Ward, FOZZY is a band that delivers a truly rock and roll experience - a true sonic assault of head-bobbing riffs, energy and most importantly , incredible songs. The foundation of their sound comes from the killer combination of Grant Brooks on drums, PF Farley on bass and Billy Gray leading the guitar solos. There are just good times and electrifying performances guaranteed, no matter the audience or country.
After the successful headlining tour in the United Kingdom in February and having shared the stage with rock icons such as Metallica, Avenged Sevenfold and Iron Maiden, it was the release of the seventh album JUDAS that elevated FOZZY to the select group of artists who crossed over from world of rock and metal into mainstream consciousness. The album's title track has been streamed over 72 million times on Spotify alone, achieved a GOLD record in the US and was sung word for word by 81,000 fans when FOZZY performed at AEW's sold-out Wembley Stadium show in August 2023.
Pushing themselves forward both musically and artistically throughout their twenty-plus year career, the band's eighth and most recent studio album, BOOMBOX, contains 'a series of catchy tunes' (Metal Hammer) and 'sees the band reinforcing the stadium anthems' (Classic Rock).
Swerve Strickland is the current AEW World Heavyweight Champion. As a performing artist, he has appeared on national cable television alongside rap superstars such as Rick Ross, Kevin Gates, Fabolous and others. Hailing from the Bronx, the birthplace of hip hop, Flash Garments is a dynamic rapper, songwriter and performer whose legendary uncle Lovebug Starski is recognized as the man who coined the term "hip hop." Together, these two artists form a rap duo that electrifies audiences and has performed at major shows around the world, including the renowned Rolling Loud music festival and The Jericho Cruise.
With FOZZY continually on the rise, expect an unmissable performance of immersive, energetic and captivating rock'n'roll, backed by the electricity and magic of Swerve Strickland & Flash Garment at the O2 Forum.
