Legendary heavy metal band Judas Priest is gearing up for an exciting new chapter in their storied career. With over 50 years of headbanging anthems and a devoted global fan base, the band is set to release a highly anticipated new album, Invincible Shield, followed by a massive world tour in 2024.
The upcoming album, the first since Firepower in 2018, promises to capture the classic, intense sound Judas Priest is known for, while pushing boundaries with fresh, innovative riffs. Longtime guitarist Richie Faulkner, who has contributed heavily to the writing process, hinted that the new material is both aggressive and experimental. Vocalist Rob Halford, often called the “Metal God,” continues to command attention with his soaring vocals, and fans can expect nothing less than an electrifying performance on this record.
In addition to the album, the band’s 2024 world tour has metalheads buzzing. Starting in Europe before heading to North America, the tour will celebrate the new album and Judas Priest’s rich musical legacy. With a career spanning hits like “Breaking the Law,” “Painkiller,” and “You’ve Got Another Thing Comin’,” the setlist is expected to be a mix of new songs and timeless classics. Pyrotechnics, elaborate stage designs, and Halford’s iconic leather-and-spikes attire are sure to make the shows a spectacle.
As Judas Priest approaches this milestone, the band shows no signs of slowing down. For fans old and new, Invincible Shield and the upcoming tour promise to be a monumental celebration of heavy metal at its finest, cementing Judas Priest’s status as one of the greatest acts in rock history.
