The mainstays of British heavy metal are coming back to the Alamo City next week. And this time, they’re bringing a newly minted status as official Rock N’ Roll Hall of Famers with them.
But unlike the other dates on the second leg of their 50th anniversary North American tour, Judas Priest will be playing multiple shows Thanksgiving week at the Tech Port Center + Arena on Nov. 22 and 23 with Queensryche (tickets here).
How lucky are you, San Antonio?
The concerts mark the 40th anniversary of seminal 1982 album Screaming For Vengeance. In addition to the gig Judas Priest played in March at Freeman Coliseum, next week’s shows will be the second and third performances here in 2022 by vocalist Rob Halford, bassist Ian Hill, drummer Scott Travis, and guitarists Glenn Tipton, Richie Faulkner and Andy Sneap.
Hill went Into the Pit with ATM yesterday to discuss it all, including the band’s Hall of Fame experience and one-night reunification with guitarist K.K. Downing and drummer Les Binks, as well as the group’s storied history with our city and what to expect on stage next week.
