Judas Priest has been killing it for 50 years now and they're ready to celebrate. Judas Priest has announced an arena tour starting this September with Sabaton as the openers, where they'll perform "a blistering cross section of songs from our lives in metal."
Judas Priest vocalist Rob Halford recently said in an interview that the band will be breaking out songs they've never played live.
"I've been feverishly working over the last few weeks and months with our stage designers to make something very, very special. We're gonna go deep, deep, deep into the catalogue and try to find songs that we've never played before and wrap it up into the history of Priest and the 50th anniversary. The official Priest 50th spectacular starts next year. So it's gonna be a great show. We've got some really big surprises and it's gonna be a wonderful celebration of Priest and British heavy metal."
