Judas Priest has announced details of their 2026 “Faithkeepers” European tour on Instagram.
The tour will span nearly a month across Europe beginning in the summer of 2026. The band’s announcement caption stated their tour name and year: “FAITHKEEPERS EUROPEAN TOUR 2026.”
The tour kicks off on July 26 at the Wileysportpark in Neu-Ulm, Germany. It concludes on August 23 at the Loreley Amphitheatre in Goarshausen, Germany. The full scope of the tour extends well beyond these bookend dates, with performances scheduled across multiple European countries throughout the summer.
Metal Sucks reported that the Faithkeepers European tour features a comprehensive schedule spanning from late July through August 2026. The legendary metal band will perform across Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, the Netherlands, France, and Spain, in addition to multiple German dates. Notable stops include Warsaw’s Torwar on July 28, Ostrava Arena in the Czech Republic on August 2, and performances in Bratislava, Halle, Tilburg, and Carhaix-Plougher.
Metal Injection noted that the tour supports Judas Priest’s album Invincible Shield. This marks a significant European campaign for the iconic British heavy metal band. The tour represents a relatively compact European run compared to their recent North American tours, allowing the band to focus on key markets across the continent.
The PRP revealed that additional notable appearances in the UK and other festival dates such as Bobfest and Wacken Open Air may occur around this period. These events are separate from the core Faithkeepers tour dates. Fans interested in catching Judas Priest during the European leg should monitor official channels for any additional announcements regarding ticket sales and venue-specific information.
