GLOBAL MELTDOWN, THE AFTER PARTY
- FESTIVAL HALL, SATURDAY AUGUST 10 FROM 9.30PM

Saturday August 10 was already going to be a big night for Melbourne's wrestling fans with the WWE Global Warning Tour Melbourne happening at Colonial Stadium, but now the night just got bigger.

WWE Superstar Chris Jericho fronts Atlanta based heavy rock band Fozzy and today it was announced that Fozzy would be headlining Global Meltdown - the Global Warning After Party at Festival Hall on August 10.
Festival Hall, a short walk from Colonial Stadium, was Melbourne's traditional home of rock and wrestling and so it will be a perfect location for wrestling fans and metal fans to meet after the Global Warning event.

Doors open for Global Meltdown at 10.00pm and the bands hit the stage from 11.00pm allowing fans plenty of time to make the short walk from Colonial Stadium. Fans of all ages are welcome at the events, although a bar will operate in a restricted area for fans over 18.

Tickets for Fozzy at Global Meltdown went on sale from 9.00am Wednesday July 24 from Ticketmaster outlets and by phone 136 100 or on-line at www.ticketmaster7.com

Fozzy will be joined by Melbourne heavy rock legends Bigger Than Jesus and the hard N' Fast DJ tag team of Stratos and James The Hound Dog.

Fozzy are the creation of Chris Jericho (known to wrestling fans as Y2J) and guitarist Rich Ward and include members of revered metal act Stuck Mojo.

Providing a combination of "balls to the wall' heavy rock and an over-the-top live performance Fozzy are regarded as one of the world's premiere exponents of metal.
