Judas Priest announces 50 Heavy Metal Years tour with Sabaton
Metal legends Judas Priest are revving up the engine for their 50 Heavy Metal Years 2021 tour. Featuring support from Sabaton, the North American trek kicks off on September 8 in Reading, PA, and includes a stop at Laval’s Place Bell on November 4.
Tickets for the new dates go on sale Friday, June 11th at 10 am. Tickets for all previously announced dates are on sale now.
The anniversary tour is also in support of Priest’s recent Firepower album, the highest-charting album of the band’s long career.
The band had the following to say about the upcoming tour:
“Defending the heavy metal faith for fifty years, the Priest is back!” – Rob Halford
“Time to don the leather and studs and roll out the Priest Machine – celebrating our 50 Heavy Metal Years!!” – Glenn Tipton
“After the horrific year of restrictions we’ve all had to endure, what better place to break free, than the land of the free – the USA!” – Ian Hill
