After Gojira, the metal group Judas Priest will participate in the Carcassonne festival for this new edition

Would the Carcassonne Festival turn to metal? Everything suggests it after the announcement of the French group Gojira and that, this Monday, November 4, Judas Priest. With more than 50 years of career, the latter will be in concert on Tuesday, July 15 at the Jean-Deschamps theater from 9:30 p.m.

For those who don't know Judas Priest, they are an English heavy metal band, created in 1969. Judas Priest has built a true musical legacy and embodies the very essence of metal thanks to its powerful riffs, his stage energy and the captivating voice of Rob Halford. Winner of a Grammy award for Best Metal Performance in 2010, the group joined the prestigious Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2022. In 2024, Judas Priest returned with a new studio album, Invincible Shield, six years after their last opus Firepower. Here they are now on the road for an international tour between America, Japan and France with this summer date in Aude.
