British heavy metal legendary band Judas Priest have unveiled the plans of their 2026 “Faithkeepers” European tour. The tour will take off less than a year after Priest linked up with Alice Cooper for a 22-city North American co-headlining trek this September. In support of their 19th studio album, “Invincible Shield,” which debuted at No. 18 on the Billboard 200 album chart, Priest is still on tour, as reported by blabbermouth.net.

Bassist Ian Hill of Judas Priest was asked about the potential for a follow-up to the band’s most recent album, “Invincible Shield,” which was released in March 2024, in a recent interview with Anne Erickson of Audio Ink Radio.
There’s plans to go back into the studio in the new year. So when it’ll be released, I don’t know. It’s a long process. We’re in no rush either, so it’ll be a while. But the recording is gonna happen, it looks like, next year.
One of them has started working on the material already.
I know Richie has. He’s got quite a few ideas together, yeah. So we’ve got a head start there.
And without a doubt, there’ll be a tour after the album.
Well, that’ll happen as well. Obviously, if you have an album, you have to go out and tour with it. So, yeah, that’ll happen too.
It looks like these historical artists have no intention of stopping or slowing down. And we’re here for it! So let’s see what will happen next…
