Heavy metal legends Judas Priest have announced the latest leg of their blockbuster world tour in honour of outstanding latest album, Invincible Shield, which landed earlier this year. The Brummie icons will hit the road in September for a run of dozens of dates, including some already announced festival shows, and they'll be bringing Swedish power metal heavyweights Sabaton along with them for the ride.
Touching down In Montreal, Canada on Friday September 13, Priest will take their metal might through the likes of Milwaukee, Portland, Las Vegas, Phoenix, Austin and more.
See the full list of dates below. Tickets go on general sale this Friday, June 14, at 10am local time.
Speaking to Metal Hammer earlier this year, Judas Priest frontman Rob Halford explained that the band's desire to continue delivering the goods at a high level is what helped make Invincible Shield, awarded a 9/10 by Metal Hammer's Rich Hobson, the success it is.
“It’s another strong, solid representation of what this band can do,” he says. “We’re not holding back. There’s still this full-on determination to see if we’ve still got it."
“When Glenn and Richie and myself get in a room, like Priest have always done, as a three-piece – two guitar players and a singer – that’s the metal magic,” he continued. “All of that energy, all of that youthful exuberance was still there in those initial writing sessions.”
