The band originally solidified their place in music history with iconic albums like ‘Sad Wings of Destiny’ and ‘Sin After Sin’ known for metal anthems like ‘Sinner’ and ‘Hell Bent for Leather’ while pioneering the leather-and-studs image now synonymous with the metal culture

The ’80s marked their pinnacle with classic albums ‘British Steel’, ‘Screaming for Vengeance’, and ‘Defenders of the Faith’, generating timeless hits like ‘Breaking the Law’. Despite lineup changes and various challenges, the band’s resilience remained unwavering.

Recent tour reviews

1986, 1988, 2005, 2011, 2019. These are the years I seen the mighty Judas Priest and they continue to rock after all these years. They have changed their set list every time I seen them and glad I made it to the concert(s). Rob Halford is still hitting those high notes which is amazing since is getting up there in years. This is the first time not seeing Glenn Tipton in the band. His Parkinson's disease has really affected his playing, as he didn't come out for the encore songs.

If you are trying to decide to go at the last minute to see JP, just go. Don't procrastinate. Go, now. Get your ticket. Enjoy the show.

Report as inappropriate

Halford and crew delivered the goods. New set list for 2019 including awesome deep cuts like Take These Chains and a few brand new cuts from Firepower - the greatest metal album since the 80s (and better than most of those)! This is a MUST SEE concert for any true metal fan. Incredible show! Band should have moved around the stage a little more - Rob sure did. Sure wish Glenn could have come out to say Hi even if he can’t play. These guys are true legends. Great show. Bring the next generation with you. @gilbilly88

Judas Priest never fails to impress and entertain. This was my 25th Priest concert and this one, like all the ones before, blew me away. I am very sorry I didn't get to see Glenn Tipton perform, but Andy Sneap filled in just nicely, like he has been on stage with them since the beginning. Rob.. what can I say about Rob that true fans don't already know? The man still has it! Such an exquisite and strong voice.. gives me goosebumps just thinking about it. No one, NO ONE will ever come close to outperforming, outplaying, out-singing, and outscreaming Judas Priest and THE METAL GOD . I look forward to my 26th show. Metal GODS! They are, after all...

Judas Priest released their last album,  Firepower , in 2018, although a new album is currently in the works. Halford also released his memoir Confess last September.

Setlist + Video – Judas Priest + Sabaton Kick Off North American Tour

I n support of their new album Invincible Shield , Judas Priest kicked off their North American tour last night (April 18) in Wallingford, Ct. with special guest Sabaton .

The Metal Gods took the stage at the Oakdale Theatre and ripped through an 18-song set that heavily focused on the new record, British Steel and Screaming for Vengeance . Honoring a sizable chunk of the back catalog, Judas Priest played one song off six other albums and two from 1978’s Killing Machine (known to some as Hell Bent for Leather ).

The set mostly mirrored what most fans in Europe already saw the last few weeks, with some slight deviations. Priest also switched up the set on occasion during that run, so we’ll see if the band does the same as this next leg continues.

Meanwhile, Swedish power metal heroes Sabaton played a 12-song, 50-minute set to get Connecticut’s metal maniacs primed for Priest. They played material from seven albums, including their latest, 2022’s The War to End All Wars.

See both setlists and fan-filmed video of each band below.

The tour continues through May 22 and all the remaining dates can be viewed here .

Ozzy Osbourne Again Postpones Tour With Judas Priest, Announces 2023 Dates

Ozzy Osbourne has once again postponed the promised  upcoming European leg of his No More Tours II tour, the one with support from fellow metal legends  Judas Priest , this time moving the trek to 2023.

The package tour, initially  announced for 2019 , has been  postponed and rescheduled multiple times since, first to September 2020 and more recently to January 2022. Earlier deferrals concerned Osbourne's health, such as when he  battled the flu  or  suffered a fall . The COVID-19 pandemic nixed 2020 tour plans.

See the rescheduled Ozzy Osbourne and Judas Priest tour dates down toward the bottom of this post.

Osbourne explained in a statement this week, "Due to the ongoing uncertainty with full capacity events and travel logistics in much of Europe, we have come to the difficult decision to postpone my 2022 tour to 2023. Original tickets remain valid for the new dates. I want to thank all of you and Judas Priest for your continued patience and support."

Osbourne last year released  Ordinary Man  and is already  working on a new album . Judas Priest, now celebrating their 50th anniversary , recently postponed their remaining 2021 concerts after guitarist Richie Faulkner suffered a near-fatal heart dissection onstage.

The Ozzy and Priest tour is now scheduled to begin in Helsinki on May 3, 2023, winding its way around Europe and wrapping up in Birmingham, England, about five weeks later. Get tickets and more info here .

OZZY OSBOURNE's European Tour With JUDAS PRIEST Postponed To 2023

Ozzy Osbourne 's previously announced European tour with guests JUDAS PRIEST , originally set for 2019 and then rescheduled three times, has once again been postponed. All tickets remain valid and will be honored for new dates in May and June 2023.

Ozzy says: "Due to the ongoing uncertainty with full capacity events and travel logistics in much of Europe, we have come to the difficult decision to postpone my 2022 tour to 2023. Original tickets remain valid for the new dates. I want to thank all of you and JUDAS PRIEST for your continued patience and support."

Ozzy Osbourne + JUDAS PRIEST 2023 tour dates:

May 03 - Finland, Helsinki - Hartwall Arena May 05 - Sweden, Stockholm - Friends Arena May 07 - Germany, Dortmund - Westfalenhalle May 10 - Spain, Madrid - WiZink Center May 12 - Italy, Bologna - Unipol Arena May 14 - Germany, Munich - Olympiahalle May 17 - Hungary, Budapest - Budapest Arena May 19 - Czech Republic - Prague - O2 Arena May 21 - Switzerland, Zurich - Hallenstadion May 24 - Germany, Hamburg - Barclaycard Arena May 26 - Germany, Mannheim - SAP Arena May 28 - Germany, Berlin - Mercedes-Benz Arena May 31 - UK, Nottingham - Motorpoint Arena Jun. 02 - UK, Newcastle - Utilita Arena Jun. 04 - UK, Glasgow - Ovo Hydro Jun. 07 - UK, Manchester - AO Arena Jun. 10 - Ireland, Dublin - 3 Arena Jun. 12 - UK, London - O2 Arena Jun. 14 - UK, Birmingham - Resorts World Arena

Ozzy initially scrapped his entire 2019 schedule as he recovered from surgery to repair an injury sustained while dealing with a bout of pneumonia. The tour was postponed a second time after Ozzy continued to deal with health issues following a fall in his Los Angeles home. That fall "aggravated years-old injuries" from an ATV accident that occurred in 2003. The tour was pushed back a third time in October 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Ozzy 's European tour with JUDAS PRIEST tour will now take place more than four years later than originally planned, and almost five years after tickets first went on sale in September 2018.

Earlier this year, it was revealed that Ozzy was due to undergo a major surgery to help correct neck and spine issues following the 2019 fall. Those injuries have continued to keep the legendary heavy metal singer from returning to the stage.

Less than a year after Ozzy 's fall, the family revealed publicly that the BLACK SABBATH frontman had been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease.

In July 2020, Ozzy said that he was still "not back to 100 percent" after suffering from several medical issues last year, including the fall, neck surgery and hospitalization for the flu. Ozzy also said that he was looking forward to performing again once he has regained his health and the coronavirus pandemic has subsided.

In May 2020, Ozzy 's son Jack said that his father will "probably" retire "within the next five to ten years." But Ozzy , who will turn 73 in December, has repeatedly said that he is not calling it quits, despite the fact that his "No More Tours 2" — whenever it ends up happening — is being billed as his last major global trek.

Ozzy was also forced to cancel an April 2020 trip to Switzerland to see a doctor who specializes in treatment of Parkinson's disease.

Critics' picks: the 14 best things to do and see in the twin cities this week, kenny chesney.

More than 30 years after putting out his first album, country's king of stadium concerts is bound again for the Vikings' colosseum, with a new album, "Born," a fast rising, Hardy-penned single "Take Her Home" (which chronicles a romance from a barroom meeting to having a baby) and a pickup truck full of opening acts. Zac Brown Band, a stadium headliner in its own right, brings "Chicken Fried" and a barroom-meets-jam band attitude. Georgia newcomer Megan Moroney delivered one of mainstream country's top albums of 2023 with "Lucky" and the hit "Tennessee Orange." And Uncle Kracker returns to reprise his 2004 Chesney collab, "When the Sun Goes Down." (6 p.m. Sat., U.S. Bank Stadium, 401 Chicago Av. S., Mpls., $85-$700, ticketmaster.com )

Charlie Parr

Adding to his long list of admirers-turned-producers, Minnesota's greatest acoustic song picker of the modern era found another fine collaborator in Tucker Martine, who worked with the Decemberists and Sufjan Stevens before producing Parr's loosely magical new one, "Little Sun." Piano, drums, harmonica and other lively instrumentation bring new layers to songs like "Portland Avenue" and "Bear Head Lake" without losing Parr's rustic feel or the authenticity befitting a record whose title subtly pays homage to late Twin Cities blues legend Tony Glover. Rootsy folk duo Mama's Broke, from Halifax, Nova Scotia, opens along with Oregonian Marisa Anderson, who played on Parr's record. (7 p.m. Fri., First Avenue, 701 1st Av. N., Mpls., $25-$30, axs.com )

CHRIS RIEMENSCHNEIDER

After heavily charming big audiences at First Ave's Best New Bands and the Current's anniversary showcases this past winter, the St. Paul-based indie-pop craftswoman from northern Minnesota is taking on her biggest hometown headlining show to date. She followed up last year's upbeat breakout EP, "Halfway" — featuring the cheeky and ultra-catchy viral hits "Boys Who Kiss You in Their Car" and "Superspreader" — with a balladic single that's a real heart-tugger, "Room for You," suggesting there's a lot more growing and exploring yet to come for one of Minnesota's brightest young music stars. Rafaella opens. (8 p.m. Fri., Fine Line, 318 1st Av. N., Mpls., resale tickets only, axs.com )

Judas Priest

Belatedly inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2022 — with a beautiful speech by frontman Rob Halford on being "the gay guy in the band" and ultimately one of metal's best-fit singers — the British steelmakers are blazing through another tour touting yet another mighty album, "Invincible Shield." Guitarist Glenn Tipton and bassist Ian Hill are also still around representing the heyday lineup, from which they still pull heavily in concert. As if Priest could ever take a stage without "Breaking the Law" or "Living After Midnight." Swedish bangers Sabaton open. (7:30 p.m. Thu., the Armory, 500 S. 6th St., Mpls., $67-$77, ticketmaster.com )

Daniel Lanois

After several gigs in his native Canada, sonic adventurer Lanois kicks off the U.S. leg of his trio tour in the Twin Cities. He's best known as a Grammy-winning producer of U2, Bob Dylan, Emmylou Harris, Neil Young and others. A guitarist noted for moody, atmospheric instrumentals, he released his latest album, "Player, Piano," in 2022, featuring tunes that, like his guitar pieces, could be soundtracks for movies. Indeed, he's composed soundtracks for "Sling Blade," "Red Dead Redemption II" and other films. Accompanied by drummer Jermaine Holmes and bassist Jim Wilson, Lanois promises that "the original instrument, that being the voice, is alive and well in this trio configuration." (8 p.m. Sat., Hopkins Center for the Arts, 1111 Mainstreet, Hopkins, $48-$58, hopkinsartcenter.com )

Minnesota Orchestra

Russian-American pianist Kirill Gerstein has delivered some electrifying performances on past Twin Cities visits. In recent years, he's been on a quest to play all of Sergei Rachmaninoff's piano concertos with the Minnesota Orchestra, and he'll be joined by its new music director, Thomas Søndergård, for the composer's First. There also will be some of that Richard Strauss that Søndergård and the orchestra play so well together, in this case "Also Sprach Zarathustra." Raising the curtain is a piece by Chinese composer Qigang Chen. (11 a.m. Thu., 8 p.m. Fri., Orchestra Hall, 1111 Nicollet Mall, Mpls., $45-$111, 612-371-5656 or minnesotaorchestra.org )

ROB HUBBARD

'La Boheme'

Minnesota Opera closes its season with one of the most popular of operas, Giacomo Puccini's sweet, sad, funny and gloriously tuneful tale of life and love among Paris' poverty-stricken creative class in the 19th century. The company is offering nine performances in 16 days, with job shares for the three lead roles. Overseeing the staging is a Greek director of increasing renown, Rodula Gaitanou. New principal conductor Christopher Franklin is in the pit. (7:30 p.m. Sat., 2 p.m. Sun., through May 19, Ordway Music Theater, 345 Washington St., St. Paul, $29-$285, 612-333-6669 or mnopera.org )

An Evening With Phil Rosenthal

No one seems to enjoy chowing down more than Rosenthal. The co-creator of "Everybody Loves Raymond" has become an on-screen celebrity thanks to his delicious travel series, "Somebody Feed Phil," which recently dropped its seventh season on Netflix. He'll take you behind the scenes of his culinary adventures in an evening that promises to showcase both his passion for food and his self-deprecating wit. (7 p.m. Fri., Pantages Theatre, 710 Hennepin Av. S., Mpls. $39.50-$59.50. hennepintheatretrust.org )

NEAL JUSTIN

'The Spitfire Grill'

After extended performances at correctional facilities throughout Minnesota, Ten Thousand Things Theater's production of this James Valcq-Fred Alley musical plays at several Twin Cities venues before closing at Everwood Farmstead in Glenwood City, Wis. That roundabout tour is apropos. Based on Lee David Zlotoff's 1996 film, "Spitfire" tells the story of a woman trying to rebuild her life in small-town Wisconsin after a stint in prison. Marcela Lorca co-directs the show with Michelle O'Neill and Peter Vitale returns to provide musical direction. Katherine Fried plays the lead in a gifted cast that includes Michelle Barber, Katie Bradley, Tyson Forbes, George Keller and Tom Reed. ("The Spitfire Grill" plays at various venues through June 9: 7:30 p.m. Thu. & Fri., 4 p.m. Sat. & Sun., Hennepin Avenue United Methodist Church, 511 Groveland Av., Mpls. $35 or pay-as-you-are. 612-203-9502, tenthousandthings.org )

ROHAN PRESTON

Bealtaine: A Fiery Showcase of Irish Music & Dance

Average Gatsby, Two Tap Trio and Brian Boru Irish Pipe Band kick off a two-day engagement of Irish culture, music and dance into high gear. This includes performances by two local dance troupes over the course of three shows. The Mactir Academy of Irish Dance teams up with dancers from Wolfpack Studios for an outdoor extravaganza of Irishness, featuring food trucks and a pop-up market. This is all part of the Hook & Ladder's Under the Canopy series. Performances start an hour after the beginning of each event slot. (1-4 p.m. & 5-9 p.m. Sat.; noon-4 p.m. Sun., Hook & Ladder, 3010 Minnehaha Av. S., Mpls. $30; 612-345-7166, thehookmpls.com )

SHEILA REGAN

Can you imagine Shakespeare's classic tragedy as a dance piece? It'll be a little easier after seeing this filmed version of the play, staged in England by director Simon Godwin and starring Ralph Fiennes in the title role. It's a modern-dress "Macbeth" that comes alive in the balletic stage combat (there's a lot of it) and in scenes featuring the three "weird sisters" or other ghostly characters, whose movement has an otherworldly, dance-like quality. Fiennes is sensational, easily making Shakespeare's poetic dialogue conversational — something Indira Varma, as Lady Macbeth, doesn't have a handle on. The camera is often in her face while she seems to be playing to the back row of the theater where she was performing. (Thu. & Sun., Landmark Cinema, Mpls., and AMC Rosedale, macbethincinemas.com )

CHRIS HEWITT

Art from the Vatican

Thrivent, a Fortune 500 diversified financial services organization in downtown Minneapolis, collaborated with the Vatican in Rome to showcase overlapping artworks with religious themes. A total of 27 works from the Vatican are paired with 29 works from Thrivent's art collection, with stunning works by artists such as Rembrandt, Eug è ne Delacroix, Paul Klee, Joan Miró and local names such as Aribert Munzner. The show includes depictions of the Old Testament, Madonna & Child, Jesus, the resurrection and more. Ends June 25. (Noon-2 p.m. Tue.-Thu. & by appt., Thrivent Art Collection, 600 Portland Av. S., Suite 100, Mpls., free, thriventcollection.com . Contact [email protected] to schedule an appt.)
