After only featuring the title track from Painkiller during their 2024-2025 Invincible Shield tour, the legendary frontman Rob Halford and his bandmates kicked off the Rockfest show with a powerful one-two punch, performing “All Guns Blazing” and “Hell Patrol,” along with fan favorites like “A Touch of Evil,” “Night Crawler” (making its first appearance since 2012), “One Shot at Glory,” and “Between the Hammer and the Anvil,” all from the iconic album.

The evening also showcased the highly anticipated live debut of “The Serpent and the King,” a track from their most recent album, 2024’s Invincible Shield. Interestingly, the band opted not to include the classic opening track “Electric Eye” from Screaming for Vengeance, which surprised many fans.

Judas Priest’s European journey continues on Saturday, June 14, in Hamar, Norway, and is set to reach its grand finale on July 25 in London at the prestigious O2 Arena. Following this, the band will join forces with Alice Cooper and Corrosion of Conformity for an exciting North American tour, kicking off on September 16 in Biloxi, Mississippi.
