Judas Priest’s Faithkeepers run is currently set to wrap up with a date at London’s Eventim Apollo, with support coming from Nevermore.
Judas Priest have just revealed details of a one-off London headline show.
Once the Metal Gods are done headlining Bloodstock in August, they’ll be wrapping up this year’s Faithkeepers run (so far) at the capital’s 5,000-capacity Eventim Apollo on September 21. Support comes from Nevermore, and tickets go on sale this Thursday, April 2 from 10am.
Speaking to Kerrang! last year about how much joy the band still get out of playing live and his favourite thing about gigging, Rob Halford enthused, “The feeling of completing yourself. Getting dressed and getting ready to go and do something that you love with every fibre of your being for lots of different reasons. Outside of the performance, it’s just a thrill. I never want to let it go. If I’m not able to do this, I feel like there’s something missing as to what I’m about, why I’m here, and what I do.”
Rob also admitted that his number-one touring essential was Yorkshire Tea: “Being a Brit, wherever I go in the world, I’ve got to have my tea,” he said. “I take my own stash so I know I’ve got it. I’d put that above everything else, because when I started doing gigs with Priest, there was no phones or emails, there was nothing like that, but I had to have tea. Fifty-odd years later, nothing’s changed.”
Judas Priest will headline Bloodstock this summer alongside Lamb Of God and Slaughter To Prevail.
