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!”
