Update: Venue change: now Challenge Stadium. And Cavalera Conspiracy no longer supporting.

Judas Priest, with the original line-up (Rob Halford, Glenn Tipton, K.K. Downing, Ian Hill & Scott Travis), head to Australia for the first time ever! They perform in Perth on Tuesday 16 September 2008 at Burswood Dome Challenge Stadium.

One of the world’s definitive heavy metal bands, who have sold more than 35 million albums world wide, will bring their mammoth PRIEST FEAST 2008 tour to Australian fans in September.

Judas Priest are a seminal and vital part of rock history. Since 1974, they have been one of heavy metal’s most successful bands, issuing such all-time classic albums as 1980’s British Steel, 1982’s Screaming for Vengeance, and 1990’s Painkiller, and such arena-rocking anthems as Breaking the Law, Living After Midnight, and You’ve Got Another Thing Comin’. However, Priest’s influence goes far beyond their music – they were the first metal band to embrace the ‘leather biker look,’ a fashion that has since become synonymous with the musical genre.

Tickets on sale Friday 13 June from Ticketek.

Hat tip to the extremely excited Goatlady ;)
