Formed in 1969 and with a string of classic songs to their name - not to mention more than 50 million album sales worldwide - Birmingham’s Judas Priest really hit their stride creatively in the second half of the 1970s, delivering a quartet of albums which cemented their reputation as one of heavy metal’s greatest-ever bands: 1977's Sin After Sin, 1978's Stained Class and Hell Bent For Leather, and 1979's Unleashed In The East. 

More recent times have shown that they’re still very much alive and kicking when it comes to creating new material - 2018 release Firepower was their highest-charting album ever...

Bringing their Invincible Shield Tour to their home town this month, the guys will be sharing the spotlight with fellow veteran metal masters Saxon and Uriah Heep.
