Although we've just reported the sad news of former Judas Priest drummer Les Binks's death, fans of the heavy metal innovators will likely be more pleased to know that the band are trudging forward and embarking on a co-headlining North American tour with Alice Cooper this fall. With additional support from Corrosion of Conformity, the tour is expected to hit Canada for a lone performance in Toronto come September.
The trek kicks off on September 16 in Biloxi, MS. Cooper and Judas Priest will make their single venture to Canadian turf by the end of the month for a September 29 performance at Toronto's Budweiser Stage. They'll complete the remainder of the tour stateside, and are currently slated to wrap things up after playing Houston, TX, on October 26.
Tickets go on sale to the general public this Friday (April 18), with presales getting underway tomorrow (April 16) from 10 a.m. local time onward. Check out the full schedule of dates below, in addition to more upcoming shows by way of Exclaim!'s Canadian concert listings.
