Judas Priest Hosting Global Listening Parties Ahead of Invincible Shield Release

We’re just days away from the release of Judas Priest‘s 20th full-length studio album Invincible Shield and the metal masters are giving fans a chance to hear the whole damn thing ahead of time. All you have to do is head to one of 30 metal bars around the world to have the opportunity.

Next Thursday, listening parties will be held in North America, the U.K., and Europe. Though the exact time and details of the party will vary on the location, it looks like many will have special giveaways and Judas Priest-themed cocktails on offer.

In addition to the listening party announcement, the band revealed that they’ll have a special pop-up shop set up at Atlantic Sounds in Daytona Beach, Florida on Saturday, March 9 from 3-5 p.m. during Daytona Bike Week. Judas Priest merch and other items will be on sale at the shop, while the whole thing will be operating out of a custom Judas Priest-themed military combat truck.
