KK’s Priest have announced their first European headlining tour, including major festival appearances and a clutch of UK shows in August.

The band, which features Judas Priest alumni K.K. Downing on guitar and Tim ‘Ripper’ Owens on vocals, will kick off at the Durbury Rock Festival in Belgium on 11th May and incorporate a string of headlining shows and festivals over the summer.

These will include appearances at Barcelona Rock Fest and the huge Wacken Open Air in Germany.

They will play four shows in the UK and Ireland in August before finishing the jaunt with a previously announced performance at Stonedead Festival on 24th August.

They also promise more shows to come later in the year.

K.K. Downing said: “Hello Metalheads! We are really pumped up and raring to go back to Europe this summer when we play some of our favorite cities and countries. Also, the festival season is upon us and we can't wait to play Wacken, Rock Hard, Fezen, Stonedead and other great festivals.

“And if you don't see your city now, don't worry as we will soon announce more European shows for later in the year. The band and I are ready to go and we will bring you the KK's Priest metal thunder. Don't miss it!”
