The legendary British band Judas Priest is coming to Arena Pula as part of their European Faithkeepers tour!
Judas Priest stands among the most influential bands in the history of heavy metal, with a career spanning more than five decades and helping shape the genre as a whole. Formed in 1969 in Birmingham, a city often regarded as the birthplace of heavy metal, they quickly became synonymous with its sound.
Over the years, the band has built a reputation as one of the most formidable live acts on the scene. Their impact has been recognized with numerous accolades, including a Grammy Award and induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. In the 1980s, they rose to become a global live phenomenon, headlining the world's largest festivals.
Their discography features a string of iconic albums and timeless metal anthems, including Breaking the Law, Living After Midnight, and You've Got Another Thing Comin'. Their nineteenth studio album, Invincible Shield, released in March 2024, was met with widespread acclaim from both critics and audiences, further confirming that, even after more than five decades, Judas Priest remains one of the most powerful and relevant forces on the global metal scene. Beyond their music, Judas Priest played a pivotal role in shaping the visual identity of heavy metal, popularizing the iconic leather-and-studs aesthetic that has since become emblematic of the entire culture. Their status as the "Metal Gods" remains undisputed, and their legacy continues to inspire.
The Faithkeepers tour begins in late July in Germany and continues across Europe throughout July and August. As part of this tour, their stop in Pula offers a rare opportunity to experience the energy and spectacle of one of the greatest metal bands of all time in the unique setting of a historic amphitheatre.
