JUDAS PRIEST – Reschedules European Tour

JUDAS PRIEST has confirmed that they have rescheduled dates for their “50 Heavy Metal Years” European tour. It was originally slated to happen this spring and summer, but now has been postponed until 2021 due to the pandemic.

PRIEST singer Rob Halford recently said the tour celebrating the band’s 50th anniversary will “be a great show; it’s gonna be an amazing show. We’ve been working on production for over a year, putting together this incredible show for our PRIEST family and for anybody that wants to come and check out the PRIEST on our 50th anniversary… PRIEST has been working hard, as I say, for quite a while now, putting together a really, really spectacular 50th-anniversary show that we hope will give some kind of justice — if justice is the right word — to the legacy of PRIEST as we hurtle on.”
