(Niagara Falls, ON) June 11, 2024 – Join us at the OLG Stage at Fallsview Casino on Saturday, September 14 for a night of iconic heavy metal music with Judas Priest: Invincible Shield Tour. The showtime is at 7:30pm. Tickets go on sale Friday, June 14 at 10:00am via ticketmaster.ca.
“Judas Priest are trailblazers and incredible performers that have stood the test of time,” says Cathy Price, Vice President of Marketing, Niagara Casinos. “Their music and honours that have followed are a testament to their impact, and we are incredibly excited to have them at the OLG Stage at Fallsview Casino this September!”.
There are few heavy metal bands that have managed to scale the heights that Judas Priest have during their 50+ year career. Their presence and influence remains at an all-time high as evidenced by 2018’s Firepower being the highest charting album of their career, a 2010 Grammy Award win for ‘Best Metal Performance’, plus being a 2006 VH1 Rock Honours recipient and a 2022 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee.
It could be said that Priest simply owned the ’80s as they were second to none as far as pure metal goes, releasing such all-time classic albums as 1980’s British Steel, 1981’s Point of Entry, 1982’s Screaming for Vengeance, and 1984’s Defenders of the Faith. Once more, these titles spawned countless enduring metal anthems including “Breaking the Law”, “Living After Midnight”, “Heading Out to the Highway”, and “You’ve Got Another Thing Coming”. The ’80s were also a decade where Priest became a global arena headliner, offering show-stopping sets at some of the world’s biggest festivals. Joining Judas Priest is Swedish power metal band Sabaton.
