NEWARK — Due to the overwhelming success of rock legend Judas Priest's 17th studio album, "Redeemer of Souls," the band has announced a U.S. and Canadian fall tour. The tour will include the band’s first show at Prudential Center on Saturday, Nov. 7. Joining Judas Priest on the U.S. dates will be one of modern metal's top bands, Mastodon.

"Redeemer of Souls" became the band’s highest-charting album of their career when it debuted on the Billboard 200 charts at No. 6. The album also went on to become one of the most critically acclaimed releases, with Rolling Stone stating, "Above all, 'Redeemer' is proof that Priest can still call themselves metal's defenders of the faith," while Revolver Magazine offered further praise: "Thus rejuvenated and recharged, the Metal Gods have delivered their strongest record in over a decade."
Comprised of Rob Halford (vocals), Glenn Tipton (guitar), Richie Faulkner (guitar), Ian Hill (bass), and Scott Travis (drums), Judas Priest is responsible for some of heavy metal's all-time classic anthems, including "Living After Midnight," "Breaking the Law" and "You've Got Another Thing Coming," and albums British Steel, Screaming for Vengeance and Painkiller.
