Judas Priest announce 50th anniversary US tour dates

Heavy metal legends Judas Priest are celebrating their 50th anniversary on tour this year, and they just announced a headlining U.S. run for late summer and fall with support from Sabaton. The tour hits the NYC-area, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Austin, Denver, Chicago, Detroit, and more.

The NYC-area shows include Nassau Coliseum on September 11 and Prudential Center on September 15. Tickets for those shows go on sale Friday (2/28) at noon with a fan club presale starting Tuesday (2/25) at 10 AM and a Live Nation presaale starting Wednesday (2/26) at 10 AM.

Priest also have a bunch of other international tour dates, and they’re supposed to open the Europe/UK run of Ozzy Osbourne’s final tour, but Ozzy just had to postpone his North American dates due to illness again, so stay tuned in case the EU/UK dates get postponed again as well.

In other news, founding/former Judas Priest guitarist K.K. Downing just launched his own competing version of Judas Priest called KK’s Priest.
