Judas Priest Announces North American Tour Dates for Final World Tour
Legendary British metal group Judas Priest has announced the U.S. tour dates on their Epitaph tour, which they say will be their final world tour.
The 20-date excursion includes four shows in Canada, with most dates spread across the U.S. Though most of the concerts are planned for the West Coast, more dates are expected to be announced.
Bassist Ian Hill, who is the sole member to have stayed with the band throughout their nearly 40-year existence, explains it’s not the end of Judas Priest.
“I do not think it will be our last shows,” the bassist said. “There will be no two-year tours, but we still have a lot of touring ahead of us.”
