Judas Priest US Tour 2024
Heavy metal architects Judas Priest will celebrate part of their 50th anniversary year with a spring and summer tour of North America next year in support of this year’s Firepower, their 18th studio album. The tour will run from May 3rd to June 29th and will feature two-night stands in Long Island, Milwaukee, Austin and San Francisco.
Judas Priest‘s absence from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame remains a mystery. In recent years, many bands that were never critical favorites, yet consistently sold-out arenas beginning in the ’80s, have been inducted. These include Journey, Bon Jovi, Cheap Trick and ELO. It’s expected that Def Leppard will be selected for the Class of 2021 when the Hall reveals its choices later this month.
Coinciding with the release of Firepower, Judas Priest announced that guitarist Glenn Tipton would no longer be able to tour with the band, as he had developed Parkinson’s. Producer Andy Sneap has been playing in his stead on their recent tours, and Tipton has been making appearances for encores at various dates.
