In a rather odd pairing, British bands Judas Priest and Whitesnake are teaming up for a summer U.S. tour.
Judas Priest will be performing their classic album British Steel in its entirety on the jaunt. This will be the very first time the whole record—originally released in April 1980 and featuring "Breaking The Law" and "Living After Midnight"—has been played live. "We're really excited and looking forward to presenting the album live on stage—fans will be able to enjoy a taste of true heavy metal when it was in its early, raw state," says the band. Priest—singer Rob Halford, guitarists Glenn Tipton and K.K. Downing, bassist Ian Hill and drummer Scott Travis—will perform other favorites as well.
Whitesnake—singer David Coverdale, guitarists Reb Beach and Doug Aldrich, bassist Uriah Duffy, keyboardist Timothy Drury and drummer Chris Frazier—will be supporting the much-praised 2008 album Good To Be Bad. "We're delighted to have the opportunity to play [America] again," says Coverdale. "We'll be prominently featuring songs from [Good To Be Bad] along with all the songs everyone knows by heart."
