Release Athens 2024 welcomes Judas Priest and Bruce Dickinson on Sunday July 21st, at Plateia Nerou. Rob Halford’s Metal Gods and the singer / frontman of Iron Maiden are two names that need no further introductions. A landmark night for all metalheads in Greece! With them, one of the most essential bands of the scene, the German Accept.
Judas Priest originally formed in 1969, in Birmingham, were set to shape the sound of heavy metal and hard rock. For the last 50 years, there is no praise left that hasn’t been said for them.
Releasing such all-time classic albums as "Hell Bent for Leather" ('78), "British Steel", ('80), "Point of Entry" ('81), "Screaming for Vengeance" ('82), "Painkiller" ('90), "Firepower" (2018), they continued to go from strength to strength until today.
Their records spawned countless timeless metal anthems, including "The Hellion", "Electric Eye", "Riding on the Wind", "The Sentinel", "A Touch of Evil", "Rapid Fire", "You've Got Another Thing Comin'", "Painkiller", "Metal Gods", "Breaking the Law", "Living After Midnight" and many more, in an astonishing back catalogue that secured them a place in the hearts of every metalhead.
Judas Priest are planning to repeat their crushing headline show from 2022, along with the largest stage set-up they ever had with them, performing live for the first-time songs from their forthcoming new album, "Invincible Shield" (release date, March 8th). In the first single, "Panic Attack", they sound at the top of their game, causing great enthusiasm to millions of fans. Not bad at all, considering this is the 19th studio album of an enduring and successful career.
