Judas Priest launches Faithkeepers World Tour with concert in Germany and European dates
British heavy‑metal band Judas Priest opened its Faithkeepers World Tour at the BOBfest festival in Germany on 25 July 2026. The 17‑song setlist featured the surprise return of two classics – “The Ripper” and “Delivering The Goods” – which had not been played live since 2019, alongside longtime hits and newer material.
The tour then moved to Central Europe, with dates at Ostrava in the Czech Republic and a sold‑out show at Torwar in Warsaw, Poland. In Warsaw, the band was supported by Phil Campbell’s Bastard Sons, who performed a mix of Motörhead tracks and original songs. Upcoming stops include venues in France, Switzerland and Belgium, where fans can expect the same blend of classic and recent Judas Priest material.
Attendance has been strong across the European leg, confirming the band’s enduring popularity and the tour’s appeal to both longtime supporters and newer audiences.
