Glenn Tipton joins Judas Priest on stage at Pol'and'Rock
The heavy metal band, which has sold over 50 million copies of albums worldwide, gave one of, if not the most anticipated concert of the massive, free music festival held in Kostrzyn nad Odrą, western Poland.
Judas Priest is a band which has helped define heavy metal sound - and look - since its formation in the late 1960s. Formed in 1969 in England, the band has gone through a fascinating journey: from vibrant 70s eclecticism to raw and authentic 80s heavy metal, to conceptual albums and appearances in popular TV shows.
The English band took the stage at Pol'and'Rock Festival with confidence and style. A huge screen overlooked the stage as a couple of hundred thousand strong audience took in a rare opportunity to see heavy metal legends a the height of their power - Firepower one might say! The audience was treated to Halford's signature move as he appeared on stage, driving a diamante encrusted Harley Davidson.
Clad in elaborate leather outfits band members, led by Rob Halford, known for his impressive vocal range, are Ian Hill, Scott Travis, and Richie Faulkner. The concert setlist included songs from their newest release, the acclaimed Firepower album, and metal albums such as You've Got Another Thing Coming and Turbo Lover. Glenn Tipton, one of the founding members of the band, joined Judas Priest on stage to perform 3 songs closing the band's performance, playing iconic heavy metal anthems such as "Living After Midnight".
