Judas Priest

Eh, a DotF & SfV tour is - at this point - a rather impossible scenario, in my opinion. At the moment they're recording vocals for the 20th album, it seems that the whole thing is going to be finished surprisingly soon. They won't be on tour post-September (that's when Richie wants to play with Elegant Weapons), in 2027 (and perhaps in 2028 too) they will be focusing on promoting the record. How much time do they have left? How many tours? Faithkeepers isn't going to be too DotF/SfV-heavy, it's gonna be more like a mix of everything, with an emphasis on Turbo and Sad Wings.

The idea itself sounds great and I'll be happy to see a setlist like that. But on the other hand - they've already revisited many DotF and SfV songs, only few are left untouched. Honestly, I could be intrested in Priest coming back to the 70s songs that haven't been performed too often. There are tracks such as Stained Class, Raw Deal, White Heat Red Hot that I'd love to hear. Don't get me wrong, I don't have anything against the two iconic LPs from the 80s, but most people who attended the recent tours have already heard stuff like The Sentinel, Devil's Child, Love Bites or Freewheel Burning (this one is a live staple, considering how often they perform it).

Good call.

If Priest had done a History tour, around the 70s albums would have been an option. We also missed out on a full-on Nostradamus tour. Turbo + RID would have been a nice tour to represent the 80s. Rock Hard Ride Free and Fever are the popular deep cuts left to return, otherwise a great combo of albums (like AOR and SWOD, or Firepower and IS...).
