Sabaton are opening! Co-headline?

I suspect Judas Priest will be blown off stage...

I hope you're wrong!

I hope you're wrong!

I don't think he is...

I don't think he is...

Well in that case, it is what it is, you know.

I think Sabaton should close each gig. What do you think?

 

[Black Wizard]

I think Sabaton should close each gig. What do you think?

I think they should swap each night. It would give the guys in Judas Priest a chance to rest and enjoy the Sabaton show. It would also be good for the fans too.

 

[KidInTheDark666]

Here in Europe Sabaton is definitely bigger these days but idk about America. Honestly to me it feels more appropriate to have Sabaton as the opener but Wiz's suggestion is good too.

 

[Collin]

Priest is bigger in America. Recently Sabaton was opening for Nightwish and Iced Earth.

I will be at the Dallas show!

 

[MrKnickerbocker]

Priest is definitely bigger in the states than Sabaton, but Sabaton's power is gaining and I have no doubt their fans will come in hard and loud for this tour. Plus, they'll probably make thousands of new fans.

[Mosh]

Sabaton makes me almost want to attend.

 

[Brigantium]

Damn. I'd happily see these two.

 

[LooseCannon]

Those are some shit dates.

 

[DJ James]

I'm going to try my absolute hardest to make the Uniondale/CT/Newark dates. I have the vacation time and I can save up the money easily over 5/6 months. This is like a dream come true man.

I might do CT, might.

I might do CT, might.

Come on and make it Minnesota! I need a great reason to go to a concert! I'll gladly cover your ticket!

That's a way bigger travel tho. Getting to Minneapolis isn't easy for me.

Anybody else find it strange that only one show in the US leg(Oxon Hill, MD) has GA standing? The rest of the venues have seats in them.

 

[Black Wizard]

No. Judas Priest fans are generally old and I think seating is quite common for these sort of shows in the US. An American can correct me if I'm wrong though.
