Judas Priest have announced a new string of tour dates across Europe in 2025.

The legendary British metal band, who were finally inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame two years ago, have taken to social media to announce their European tour, which will kick off in June next year.

The tour - in support of their latest album Invincible Shield - includes 12 shows with stops in Germany, Italy, Sweden, Poland, Switzerland and France.

The European tour announcement comes shortly after the conclusion of Judas Priest's North American tour. During that tour, the band performed a mix of Invincible Shield and fan favourites across nine classic albums.

Recently, the band's bassist Ian Hill has said that Judas Priest are in the middle of re-mixing their debut album, Rocka Rolla, which has just turned 50.

"It's coming out shortly, I believe. It's gonna be re-released, which is great news. It's finally got the production it's always needed."

Elsewhere, singer Rob Halford, affectionately known by millions of fans as The Metal God, reflected on how he came out as a gay man while performing live on MTV in 1998.

"It's never too late to set yourself free because, as we know, once you're out, the attacks float away," he told uni journal Fugue. "I'm f**king here, I'm queer, get f**king used to it!"

The tour will head to Japan next month.
