Last night (November 4), the legendary British metal band took to social media to announce their European tour dates, which will kick off in June next year and run through July.

The European tour announcement comes shortly after the conclusion of Judas Priest’s North American tour. During that tour, the band performed a mix of ‘Invincible Shield’ and fan favourites across nine classic albums.
Recently, the band’s bassist Ian Hill has said that Judas Priest are in the midst of re-mixing their debut album ‘Rocka Rolla’, which has just turned 50: “It’s just coming out shortly, I believe. It’s only a few weeks away, I’m sure it is… It’s gonna be re-released, which is great news. It’s finally got the production it’s always needed.”
Elsewhere, Halford recently reflected on how he came out as a gay man while performing live on MTV in 1998, saying: “It’s never too late to set yourself free because, as we know, once you’re out, the attacks float away. I’m fucking here, I’m queer, get fucking used to it!”
