Judas Priest's 50 Heavy Metal Years North American tour will launch in Peoria, IL on March 4, and wrap up in in Hamilton, ON on April 13. Frontman Rob Halford took to social media to share footage from the rehearsals. The clip, which Rob captioned “kicking the metal tires maniacs”, can be viewed below:

Guitarist Richie Faulkner also took to social media to share his excitement for the tour.

"And we’re back!!," says Richie. "Priest rehearsals 2022!! Feels so good to be back after so much has happened. Having these US dates has really given me something to aim for as part of my recovery process, and the guitar, as always, has been my medicine throughout. It’s gonna be emotional to see all those faces out there once again next week and I’m really looking forward to seeing you all. Thanks for all your support through all of this and see you all soon. Hopefully I can remember the stuff!" - Falcon x
