Judas Priest

Judas Priest will be at the Arkéa Arena in Floirac on 15 September 2026 for a set that reaches back to the roots of British heavy metal and spans their entire discography. Formed in Birmingham in the early 1970s, the band forged a clean, direct sound built around a twin-guitar melodic attack, razor-sharp riffs and Rob Halford’s high-pitched vocals. Live, that signature translates into taut tempos, precision-timed breaks and choruses crafted for sing-alongs.

The repertoire draws on the classics that defined the genre, from British Steel and Screaming for Vengeance to the intensity of Painkiller, while also including more recent chapters like Firepower. Anchored by Ian Hill on bass and driven by the assured next generation on guitar — Richie Faulkner alongside Glenn Tipton — Judas Priest unfolds fifty years of history on stage, moving between heavy onslaughts, speed-driven bursts and more melodic passages. The leather-and-steel imagery that has accompanied the band since its beginnings completes a show designed for the stage, where each song finds its place between past and present. A rare opportunity to see a band that shaped the grammar of metal and continues to play it at full power.
