König-Pilsener-Arena, Oberhausen, Germany17th December 2015
Judas Priest, Ufo
UK Metal legends JUDAS PRIEST will come back to Germany for three gigs! The only show in NRW on their “Redeemer Of Souls Tour 2015” will be in Oberhausen on 17th December. Special guests will be British Hard Rockers UFO.
In May/ June 2015 JUDAS PRIEST enthralled their fans with two solo concerts in Berlin and Hamburg and also on the festivals Rock im Revier in Gelsenkirchen and Rockavaria in Munich. In response to their fan’s great demand, Rob Halford, Glenn Tipton, Richie Faulkner, Ian Hill and Scott Travis are coming back again. Special guest UFO, the Hard Rock band around singer Phil Mogg, was one of the most influential bands in the genre with their hits from the 70s such as ‘Doctor Doctor’, ‘Lights Out’, or ‘Only You Can Rock Me’. Currently, they are touring with their 22nd record ‘Conspiracy of Stars’.
There aren’t that may bands around that have reached so much and influenced so many musicians like JUDAS PRIEST. A ton of bands even call themselves after popular JUDAS PRIEST songs. With their 17th studio album ‘Redeemer of Souls’ they’ve outdone themselves once again producing yet another classic in their long career. After being number 3 in the German charts and number 6 in the American charts they had an impressive comeback in July 2014. After their world tour in 2011/12 the Heavy Metal pioneers from Birmingham, England, decided to add another chapter to their 40 years of band history. ‘Redeemer of Souls’ was a collaboration of singer Rob Halford, founding member Glenn Tipton and the new member Richie Faulkner, who replaced guitarist KK Downing in 2011.
JUDAS PRIEST’s debut album ‘Rocka Rolla’ was released in 1974. Since their classic ‘British Steel’ (1980) the founders of classic Heavy Metal produced two further milestones in the genre: You can find ‘Screaming For Vengeancea’ (1982) and ‘Painkiller’ (1990) in almost every Metal CD collection around the world. The Britons are not only responsible for the leather look of several bands, but have also written countless classics: There is no Metal party without ‘Breaking The Law’, ‘You’ve Got Another Thing Coming’ or ‘Living After Midnight’. Until today, JUDAS PRIEST have sold over 45 million records.
It’s the 40th anniversary of their debut album and with ‘Redeemer of Souls’ the Metal veterans show how timeless Heavy Metal can be. And there’s no talk of retirement; JUDAS PRIEST aren’t planning of storing their famous stage-Harley-Davidson away in the garage.
