Deep Purple, Judas Priest Announce Summer Tour Together

Deep Purple and Judas Priest are going on tour together to bring their hard rock to fans in a 25-city summer tour beginning in Cincinnati, Ohio, on Aug. 21. 

The tour is set to run through Sept. 30, when it closes in Wheatland, California’s Toyota Amphitheatre.

Both groups got their start in the closing days of the psychedelic sixties, and are still going strong.

The heavy metal group Judas Priest released "Firepower" just last month, and Deep Purple will use the tour to promote their latest studio album, 2017's "inFinite," Billboard reported.

Tickets will be available beginning April 27 through LiveNation at 10 a.m. local time.

Fans were ecstatic and asked the groups to extend to tour top their own hometown.
