Right then, metalheads… just when you thought 2026 couldn’t get any heavier, Judas Priest have gone and lobbed a proper steel-toed boot into the UK calendar. 💥
Out of nowhere, the Metal Gods have announced a massive London show as part of The Faithkeepers Tour, and honestly… it’s shaping up to be one of those “you had to be there” nights.
🎤 THE BIG NEWS – LONDON, YOU’RE GETTING SMASHED WITH RIFFS
Circle it, highlight it, tattoo it on your mate’s forehead if you have to:
👉 21st September 2026
👉 Eventim Apollo, London
That’s right — Priest are rolling into the iconic Hammersmith venue and it’s going to be pure heavy metal carnage from start to finish. 😈🔥
And listen… Eventim Apollo isn’t just any venue. It’s the kind of place where the sound hits you like a pint glass to the chest and the crowd turns into one massive chanting, headbanging unit. Proper job.
⚡ SPECIAL GUESTS? OH YES, THEY’VE BROUGHT THE HEAT
As if Priest alone wasn’t enough to melt your face clean off, they’re bringing along Nevermore as support.
Yeah… let that sink in.
This isn’t a warm-up band situation — this is two heavyweight metal forces sharing the same stage. Expect riffs, solos, and enough atmosphere to power a small Welsh village for a week. ⚡
🎟️ TICKETS – DON’T MESS ABOUT, BUTT
Tickets are set to go live:
🕙 Thursday 2nd April 2026 at 10am
And let’s be honest… this is gonna sell faster than a Greggs sausage roll after a night out. If you snooze, you lose — and no one wants to be the poor soul reading about it the next day thinking “ahh I should’ve gone, mun…”
🌍 THE FAITHKEEPERS TOUR – EUROPE GETS A TASTE, UK GETS THE FINALE?
This London date lands right at the tail end of Priest’s European run, with stops across the continent before wrapping things up on UK soil.
And here’s the spicy bit…
👉 This could be the final show (for now) of The Faithkeepers Tour
Which means London might be getting:
- Extra chaos
- Extra setlist treats
- Extra Rob Halford madness 🦅
You know what bands are like on a final night — they go all out.
🤘 WHY THIS ONE’S A MUST
Let’s not overthink it, yeah?
- It’s Judas Priest
- It’s a one-off UK show
- It’s at a legendary venue
- It’s got Nevermore on support
- It might be the tour finale
That’s not a gig… that’s a metal event, mun.
🧠 RIFF REPORT VERDICT
This isn’t just another date on a tour poster.
This is:
👉 Leather
👉 Steel
👉 Screaming solos
👉 A room full of sweaty metalheads losing their minds
If you’re anywhere near London in September, there’s only one correct decision here…
GET. IN. THE. PIT. 🤘🔥
Stay loud, stay proud, and as always…
Proudly Welsh. Proudly Loud. Zero Apologies. 🎸
