Yes, I saw someone mentioning that Dream theater played for a audience in America that were like 500 people the other day

Priest/Alice is tomorrow in Atlanta and there's still tons of tickets left Saw the setlist Priest only played 14 songs in Biloxi. It would be cool to hear Solar Angels live again (first song I ever saw them perform live) but I think I'm passing this time.

I guess that 2 for $50 deal worked out. Tinley Park sales really picked up.

That's rough and that's a shame. I quite like DT and their niche of prog metal

Same with the Virginia Beach show yesterday. The pavilion filled up but the lawn was mostly empty.

The Atlanta show filled out, the reserved seats anyway. Seems tix got real cheap and they offered upgrades as well. Didn't feel like going solo, friends who might have gone were out of town or had other commitments

I was at the Virginia Beach show and it was at least a fantastic concert. Especially for my first Priest show. Wish Alice Cooper wasn’t there though. I find him/them mildly more exciting than KISS.

Judas Priest is planning to record a new album in 2026!!!

I guess their stress management is on a whole different level...

I wonder if there's any connection between all of the low ticket sale talk and their album output.
For pretty much every other metal band that has the same status as Judas Priest, say like Maiden, Tallica etc - it's the other way around. They're hugely popular live so don't need to keep releasing new stuff. Judas Priest do apparently?

I would imagine Ian Hill doesn't feel much stress during the songwriting stage, considering he hasn't written a song since 1974

Ian Hill has got to be the single most boring musician in heavy metal history.

He is functional, reliable and does exactly what is required, no more, no less.
But, yes, not very exciting.

Tell that to his bass playing on the Painkiller album.

What are you talking about? Ian's bass sounds perfect on that album, here, take a listen.

Awesome news, they're on a roll. It seems they/Richie have the ideas. Taking a year off to write and record is normal for Priest. Album release probably in 2027 or 2028. Their Richie-albums gaps are: 4 years-6 years(because of the anniv tour)-and now 3 or 4 years again. It's great to follow-up a strong and successful album sooner if you have the ideas, like Bruce. That's the right thing to do now, after 50 years, unlike one other band...
I think no. Ofc releasing a new album puts them in the spotlight and with some revenue, but they can easily play mostly their hits on tours. It's just that they know they can deliver the goods and want to build on that. Maiden could do the same, if they want.
