This strangely hasn't made the official Judas Priest Website yet but, yeah, it's real! I certainly hope it is anyway, I just bought two tickets for the Doncaster show!

Safe to say I'm mega-chuffed about this!

I think I'll just have to stick to High Voltage festival.

Not sure which gig I'd choose to go to, but worried about venue sizes. Just don't seem that big considering it's effectively part of a farewell tour (Newport is less than 2500 capacity) and in that respect wish they could be playing something closer to home

Makes me wonder if Sheffield is not the only place where they got what I'd describe as a "Modest" audience on their last UK Tour.

Such a shame to see them not playing arenas on their final farewell but as a fan, it's gonna be very special to see them in such an intimate setting like the Apollo. And Queensryche too... awesome! I'm hoping to catch them at High Voltage too which looks like an increasingly more tempting line-up
