Holy moly, like a phoenix rising from the ashes, Judas Priest just came out of nowhere with the best tour announcement of the fall season. The band will be teaming up with friggen Mastodon for a run of dates in North America this October. This seems like quite the can't-miss combo for us to the point that I'm even considering trekking to Jersey (!!!) to go see it. I know, the sacrifices I make for heavy metal are huge, but they usually end up being worth it.
Here is the limited run of dates announced so far:
10/16 Paso Robles, CA – Vina Robles Amphitheater
10/17 Las Vegas, NV – The Pearl
10/20 San Francisco, CA – The Warfield Theater
10/21 San Jose, CA – City National Civic
10/27 Coquitlam, BC – Hard Rock
10/28 Coquitlam, BC – Hard Rock
10/31 Regina, SK – Brandt Center
11/01 Winnipeg, MB – MTS Center
11/03 Peoria, IL – Civic Center
11/07 Newark, NJ – Prudential Center
11/10 Halifax, NS – Scotiabank Center
11/12 Toronto, ON – Air Canada Center
It seems as though there might be a few more dates, so we'll update as it goes on. Pre-sales are going on right now with the password REDEEMER.
