Chris Jericho is working through the summer with WWE as well as starting a tour with his band Fozzy in promotion of their upcoming record Do You Wanna Start A War?
Loudwire.com posted the following:
Theory Of A Deadman and Fozzy have just announced the first leg of their upcoming U.S. tour dates! The series of shows is set to begin Sept. 13 and will weave around a number of WWE events featuring Fozzy frontman Chris Jericho.
Theory of a Deadman will be touring to support their fifth studio album, ‘Savages.’ The album follows the act’s 2011 full-length, ‘The Truth Is…,’ which reached No. 1 on the U.S. rock charts but received mixed reviews. ‘Savages’ will see a July 29 release date and even features a cameo by ALice Cooper on the album’s title track.
Chris Jericho may have just returned to WWE, but he and the rest of Fozzy are set to play the U.S. in September and October. Fozzy will also be touring off a new release, ‘Do You Wanna Start a War,’ which comes out July 22. Fozzy’s sixth album has been spearheaded by the singles ‘Lights Go Out’ and ‘One Crazed Anarchist.’ The disc will also include a collaboration with Steel Panther vocalist Michael Starr on the track ‘Tonite.’
The first leg of the tour will start in Los Angeles on July 24th, and see another date on August 2nd in Syracuse, New York, before slowing down a bit until starting a full run of shows in September. The dates for the Fozzy tour, with Theory Of A Deadman as tourmates, are as follows:
