Judas Priest Announce 50th Anniversary Tour!
Judas Priest have been talking up their 50th anniversary in the press of late, with former guitarist K.K. Downing even attempting to get in on the action with a new version of the band dubbed KK’s Priest. The real deal Judas Priest have now made the next move — as if there were any doubt they’re the kings — announcing a massive U.S. tour celebrating the band’s momentous golden anniversary.
The tour will run for roughly a month and a half this coming fall hitting mostly major markets and playing at arenas and large theaters. Once it ends, the band’s already-announced European tour with Ozzy Osbourne will commence, suggesting that that run — at least for now — is still on.
The band states:
“Judas Priest are primed and ready to deliver the goods with our 50 Heavy Metal Years anniversary celebration stage show spectacular! Performing a blistering cross section of songs from our lives in metal – we can’t wait to raise horns with you again at this once in a metal lifetime event!”
