Following their successful shows in Germany and Poland, Judas Priest continued their Faithkeepers world tour through the Balkans. On 25 August, the band performed at the ancient Pula Arena in Croatia, a unique stop as the only amphitheater venue on the tour. This performance coincided with frontman Rob Halford’s 75th birthday and featured local opener Jelusick. The expected setlist for the tour includes approximately 17 songs, ranging from classics like the Black Sabbath cover ‘War Pigs’ to newer tracks such as ‘Panic Attack’ from the 2024 album *Invincible Shield*. During the tour's progression through Sofia, Bulgaria, and Belgrade, Serbia, the band’s legacy was highlighted, noting their 2022 induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. In Belgrade, guitarist Richie Faulkner expressed excitement about returning to Serbia for the first time since 2015, remarking that while the band follows a setlist, every concert provides a unique energy based on the local audience. On 1 September, the band returned to Budapest, Hungary, for their first performance at the Papp László Budapest Sportaréna since 2022. During the stop, founding member Ian Hill addressed previous rumors of retirement, stating that the group intends to continue touring as long as their performance levels remain high. Hill noted that while the audience is constantly changing to include many younger fans, the decision to stop will depend on the band’s ability to maintain their musical standards. Moving into Italy, the tour included stops in Pordenone, Brescia, and Bari, with a concluding date scheduled for Rome. In Brescia, the band played a sold-out show at Teatro Clerici featuring tracks such as ‘You’ve Got Another Thing Coming’, ‘Metal Gods’, and ‘Breaking The Law’. In Bari, the band performed at Fiera del Levante, where Rob Halford delivered a two-hour set balancing classic hits with recent material.
