We like rock music more than you. It's just the way it is…

Judas Priest is holding its last hurrah on the road this year with its final world tour dubbed the Epitaph tour. The band just announced the dates for the North American leg which kicks off on October 12th in San Antonio, TX and ends on November 18th in East Rutherford, NJ. So far, no ticket information has been released but all the dates can be seen down below. Thin Lizzy and Black Label Society will provide support for the shows.

Just as a reminder, the founding member of Priest, K.K. Downing, won’t be joining the band as he’s retired from music. Replacing Downing is Richie Faulkner who was praised by guitarist Glenn Tipton in a press conference in Los Angeles. Tipton said Faulkner “satisfies everybody’s needs for how Priest should sound…he blended into the band straight away.”
