Judas Priest is one of the forefathers of heavy metal, tirelessly storming the biggest stages even after nearly 60 years. The legendary band is touring Europe this summer with their Faithkeepers tour, and on September 1, the band will roll into Budapest to rock Budapest Arena once again with their rock anthems.

There are few heavy metal bands that have managed to scale the heights that Judas Priest have during their 50+ year career. Their presence and influence remains at an all-time high as evidenced by 2018’s ‘Firepower’ being the highest charting album of their career, a 2010 Grammy Award win for ‘Best Metal Performance’, plus being a 2006 VH1 Rock Honors recipient and a 2022 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee.

Judas Priest originally formed in 1969 in Birmingham, England (an area that many feel birthed heavy metal). Within a few years, they had already risen far above the metal scene, and their success never faded: so far, they have released 19 highly successful albums, survived lineup changes, celebrated anniversaries and toured the world several times. Judas Priest have proved countless times that they are one of the most powerful forces in the metal scene. In 2020 the band celebrated their 50th Anniversary, but due to the pandemic and Richie’s health issues the tour was rescheduled in 2022. Judas Priest also brought their anniversary tour to Budapest, where they rocked the Budapest Arena.

Over 50 years since their inception, Judas Priest are still spreading their special brand of heavy metal throughout the world – with no end in sight! And now, with their Faithkeepers tour we once again have a chance to enjoy their rock anthems on September 1st at Budapest Arena.

Tickets will first be available to registered Live Nation members on March 17 from 10 AM, while general on-sale starts on March 18 at 10 AM.
