Judas Priest announce huge London gig with Alice Cooper
Judas Priest’s 2025 Shield Of Pain tour is getting even more massive, with a new date in Scarborough and an absolutely whopping show at The O2 in London.
Prepare for maximum firepower, America: Judas Priest will hit the U.S. on their 50th anniversary tour.
It's mind-boggling to consider that Judas Priest are over 50 years old. Formed in 1969, metal's steeliest band have been making heads bang and T-shirts sweaty across half a century. Now, the band are bringing their massive 50th anniversary tour to the States in what will no doubt prove to be 2020's most old-school tour.
Aiding that descriptor will be none other than Swedish power metallers Sabaton, whose epic songs of historical warfare owe so much to Priest's legacy. The tour kicks off in the east coast and weaves it way across the country before ending in Las Vegas.
"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!” say the band in a statement.
