Judas Priest Announces Rescheduled Fall 2021 50 Heavy Metal Years Tour Dates

Legendary British metal band Judas Priest has announced their plan to get back to touring beginning with a Fall 2021 tour of North America. The tour is set up by Live Nation and tickets are now on sale at Ticketmaster.com. 

The tour is a rescheduled one from last year, therefore the band will celebrate all 50 years of their glory by bringing in a lot of the classics from their hit albums. Sabaton will open for some shows as well. The tour will start in September in Reading, Pennsylvania and will finish in November in Hamilton, Ontario (Canada).

Rob Halford, singer of Judas Priest announced the tour: “Defending the heavy metal faith for fifty years, the Priest is back!” Last year, the band officially authorized a photographic book, Judas Priest: 50 Heavy Metal Years which is published by Rufus Publishings.
