Foxy Shazam
FOXY SHAZAM have announced their first ever headline Australian tour for June 2026 after releasing their latest critically acclaimed album Box Of Magic late last year. It marks the band’s first Australian shows in 15 years since performing at Soundwave Festival 2011.
The rock icons have enjoyed a mammoth resurgence of late, performing sold out tours, and with their track ‘Oh Lord’ featuring heavily in John Cena’s HBO Max show ‘Peacemaker’. Famed director and DC Comics head James Gunn not only chose the song to open each episode, but the show cumulates in a full Foxy Shazam live performance to close out the hit series second season.
Gunn, declaring that "Foxy Shazam are objectively the greatest rock and roll band in the world”, featured more of their music in last summers blockbuster movie ‘Superman’. He even tapped lead singer Eric Nally for a cameo, and brought him on to help create the theme song for the fictitious DC Comics band of lore, The Mighty Crabjoys, unsurprisingly also featuring members of Foxy Shazam.
Formed in 2004 in Cincinnati, Ohio, the band quickly became known for their glam-infused stage theatrics, energetic live performances and swaggering rock and roll anthems. Their songs are flexible and performance-driven, with an emphasis on showmanship. By blending glam, funk, soul, and theatrical rock, the band became more than just a traditional rock act, earning the avid devotion of their loyal fans, and garnering comparisons from Alternative Press to Queen, My Chemical Romance and previous tour-mates and collaborators The Darkness.
The band’s current lineup consists of Eric Nally (lead vocals), Schuyler “Sky” White (keys), Alex Nauth (trumpet/backing vocals), Devin Williams (guitar), MissterUniverse (bass), and Teddy Atkins (drums). Like fellow Cincinnatian Bootsy Collins and Bootsy’s Rubber Band, Foxy Shazam is, for all intents and purposes, a rock collective with multiple talented members, each with a distinct look and personality who contribute beyond standard, stereotypical roles.
Foxy Shazam’s Eric Nally was famously featured singing on the song and in the video for Macklemore & Ryan Lewis’ worldwide hit ‘Downtown,’ a song he also co-wrote. “Downtown” has surpassed 8x platinum sales in Australia alone, while topping the radio charts globally. Nally has joined Macklemore as a featured guest performer on three separate Australian tours, headlining multiple arenas and festivals.
Finally in 2026, Foxy Shazam will make dreams come true for Australian fans with their first shows back down under in 15 years.
“If this is just a dream, I don’t wanna wake up…”
Support for all shows comes from 80s glam revivalists BIG RED FIRE TRUCK, following their debut Japan & European tours, featuring pro wrestler Digby Robinson.
