Official Judas Priest News
Thursday, October 01, 2009 Interview with Rob Halford and Glenn Tipton on Rick Wakeman's TV show:
Friday, August 28, 2009 We are very happy to announce that we will be doing two extra shows in JAPAN along with the LOUD PARK FESTIVAL on 17th October - They are:
Monday, August 24, 2009 Just finished our US Tour - we're all going to take a short rest now before we head off to Japan!! The US shows were fabulous and the audience reaction was fantastic!! A big thank you to everyone who came to the shows - we had a great time - our only sorrow was that Whitesnake were not able to finish the last few shows with us due to David's very bad throat infection - He's getting better now so hopefully we'll all be working together again sometime in the not too distant future! See you next time round!!
Thursday, August 13, 2009 It is with deep regret that we have to announce that WHITESNAKE will unfortunately not be able to continue on the remainder of our tour in the US - David Coverdale is suffering from very severe throat problems and is under strict
doctor's orders to stop singing immediately or could do serious damage to his vocal chords. We are very sorry - we loved having WHITESNAKE out with us and we wish David a very speedy recovery.

ANNOUNCE 7 DATE ‘PRIEST FEAST’ ARENA TOUR IN FEBRUARY 2009 WITH SPECIAL GUESTS MEGADETH AND TESTAMENT London, 1st October 2008 – One of the worlds most popular and influential Heavy Metal bands – Judas Priest are set to rock the UK to it’s very core when they bring their ‘Priest Feast’ tour to play 7 arena dates in February 2009 with support from special guests – Thrash Metal veterans Megadeth and Testament.

Sunday, September 07, 2008 We've just finished the first leg of our US Tour culminating with an appearance on the Jimmy Kimmel TV Show which was a really great experience!! This show is going out to millions of viewers all over the USA!!
Tuesday, August 26, 2008 Name any current heavy metal band, and they've knowingly or unknowingly borrowed a thing or two from Judas Priest. Having sold millions of albums (including such classics as "British Steel", "Screaming for Vengeance", and "Painkiller"), scored many radio standards ("Breaking the Law", "Living After Midnight", and "You've Got Another Thing Comin'"), and staged numerous sold out tours for decades by this point, you'd think that Judas Priest has accomplished just about everything within the rock stratosphere.

Thursday, July 31, 2008 Who could have predicted a band who’ve been around since the beginning of time (more precisely, since the inception of heavy metal) would produce such an audaciously ambitious project? Judas Priest’s Nostradamus is a 23-track, double-CD concept album. Unlike the central figures in other such releases like Pink Floyd’s The Wall, The Who’s Tommy, or Iron Maiden’s Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son (also a seer), Nostradamus actually existed. With orchestral elements, Rob Halford’s piercingly high and alternately resonant low vocals, and one cut mainly sung in Italian, it almost deserves to be called a metal opera. Appearing: 8/17 at First Midwest Bank Amphitheatre in Tinley Park. Read full story at http://illinoisentertainer.com/2008/07/30/cover-story-judas-priest/
Wednesday, July 30, 2008 Today, Dainty Consolidated Entertainment announced that world heavyweight metal band Judas Priest, will not be playing in New Zealand on 7 September 2008 as originally planned.

Friday, July 18, 2008 Well we've finished the first leg of the Priest tour in Europe and had a fantastic reaction from everywhere starting in Helsinki and finishing in Istanbul. We played Countries that we have never been to before such as Romania and Turkey which we found fascinating - there were even fans from Iran at the Istanbul show! It goes to show just how rock and metal is underestimated and so popular all over this world!

Thursday, July 03, 2008 We are very pleased to tell everyone that Glenn Tipton will be flying back out to Europe today (Thur 3rd July) to rejoin the Tour and the show in Liberec will be going on as scheduled! Glenn has seen a specialist and even though he is still not well and has to have more tests next week he will be finishing off the rest of the European Dates!
Tuesday, July 01, 2008 Unfortunately, we have had to cancel two shows - tonight in Belgrade and tomorrow in Zagreb - this is due to Glenn Tipton being ill - he has been pretty sick for about a week now but has struggled on regardless - he has been in a lot of pain and has been told be a doctor that he is suffering from a very painful appendix inflammation and needs to come back to the UK to see a specialist which he is doing today - he has been instructed by the doctor not to perform for a couple of days - this is the first time in the history of Judas Priest that we have had to cancel any shows and we are very sorry to all those disappointed fans - however Glenn's health must come first!
