JUDAS PRIEST CONFIRMS US TOUR FOR 50th ANNIVERSARY

I still find it hard to believe that Judas Priest is celebrating their 50th anniversary.  Growing up in the 1980s and getting introduced to Judas Priest - to think 50 years before then - that would have been the 1930s.  Time does fly.

Well, like it or not - the hard rocking band from West Bromvich are celebrating their 50th anniversary and have confirmed a tour of the US to celebrate it.  Lead singer Rob Halford has even hinted that there's a possibility K.K. Downing, who left in 2011, might join for a few of the dates (all of which are listed below.).  Rob said "That’s a cool question.  It’s like anything in rock ’n’ roll. I love the kind of chaos that surrounds rock ’n’ roll. That’s, to me, what it’s all about. There should be no laws, regulations of restrictions. Anything can happen with Priest. So, just keep an eye out and a lookout, especially when we play live. … It’s all on the table.”
