Judas Priest return to #GMM25!

Metal gods to close out the South Stage on Sunday 22 June. 

You’ve got another thing coming! On Sunday 22 June British heavy metal legends Judas Priest will headline our South stage. With over half a century of heavy metal history and countless classics, the quintet helmed by Rob Halford will conclude a weekend of boundless metal mania on a high note. 

For over five decades Judas Priest have been one of the flagbearers of heavy metal. In the wake of their triumphant gig at last year’s festival, the beast that is Priest is returning for a ninth raid on Dessel. Last year Halford & Co unleashed their nineteenth studio album ‘Invincible Shield’ and this year marks the 35th anniversary of the landmark ‘Painkiller’ album. Brace yourselves for a set list filled to the brim with timeless bangers such as ‘Turbo Lover’, ‘Breaking the Law’ and ‘Living After Midnight’, supplemented with new tracks and cuts off the mythical ‘Painkiller’ album!
