Of course they skipped NM! Maybe we'll get the second leg of the tour.

No DC or Baltimore dates?????? I may have to trek up to Keith's neck of the woods to catch the tour....

wow, no NY?!!

No Philly or South Jersey either. What the puck!?!

I certainly hope they're adding more dates. For a band supposedly retiring from the road, 1 lone east coast show ain't cuttin' it.

Boston is often skipped these days too. Sucks.

Only 20 dates? TX and CA get four shows a piece? What a thin tour. Hopefully they're picking up other areas next year. They need to hit up Mobile, AL or Pensacola, FL so I can go!

i'd go to that Nov 4th show if i didn't have to sit through BLS & Thin Lizzy.

No MN either or ND yeah like they would come here. Oh wait Priest did come to Fargo once with Ripper on vokills.

"It's not much of a college town."

No Ohio dates either. They hit Cincinnati on the British Steel 30th anniversary and KK was still with them, so I guess I can't complain too much. It was also early enough in the tour that Coverdale hadn't blown his voice yet so I got to watch Whitesnake kick some a** too.

Salt Lake City, hell yeah!

The tour might be kicking off tonight on American Idol

Quote :

British heavy metal legends JUDAS PRIEST are strongly rumored to be performing during tonight's (Wednesday, May 25) season 10 "American Idol" finale.

Although producers have kept a tight lid on what surprises are in store for the two-hour show, the Hollywood Reporter reported that in addition to U2's Bono and the Edge performing with castmembers from the Broadway musical "Spider-Man: Turn Off the Dark", Beyoncé and Lady Gaga will take the stage.

Lady Gaga recently confirmed she wrote her new track "Judas" about a former lover who "loved JUDAS PRIEST, loved heavy metal."

Well at least Vegas is on there!!! OCT 23!!! I am just gonna sit in the parking lot until BLS is long over!!!!! I think that's a mistake on where its at though. The Hard Rock is small!

Nevermind... it's at The Joint in Vegas inside the Hard Rock. STOKED!!!!

Quite a trek to the NJ show from where I am, but its worth it.

In case you missed it in the "James Durbin/American Idol" thread, Judas Priest made a surprise appearance on tonight's "Idol" finale. Watch it quick before the Fox Network finds it and has YouTube remove it.



This is our first look at New Guy, Richie Faulkner... anybody think the main reason he was hired is cuz he looks EXACTLY LIKE KK DOWNING? Geez...

I can already say for sure that unless my financial situation suddenly improves dramatically, I have about as much chance of seeing that NJ show as a snowball has in Hell.

Meh, I've seen'em four times over the years, I'll survive.

I really want to go to that NJ concert. but THE SCHEDULE of my job changes every week, so this means, if it doesn't sold out by the last days, I could go
