Fozzy, a heavy metal band fronted by former AEW world champ Chris Jericho, will be in concert at The Foundry in Waynesboro on Saturday, May 9.

The show will be on an eight-show leg of their 2026 schedule running from May 7-14, with shows in Daytona Beach, Harrisburg, Pa., Philadelphia, Columbus, Ohio, St. Charles, Ill., and Flint, Mich.

The band is set for a run of shows in the UK through the month of February – Feb. 6-21.

The UK dates don’t seem to match up with Jericho returning to TV for either AEW or, as has been rumored for months, WWE, where he is also a former world champ.

Jericho last worked for WWE in 2018, leaving to take dates in New Japan, then debuting with AEW in 2019, and winning the new company’s inaugural world title at the “All Out” pay-per-view in August.

He last worked for AEW in June, dropping the Ring of Honor world title to Bandido in 18:12 at the “Dynasty” pay-per-view.

Jericho, whose AEW contract expired on Dec. 31, is still listed as active on the AEW roster page, but it is widely expected in the industry that he will make his return to WWE in the coming weeks or months.

In the meantime, he’ll be in Waynesboro in May.
