LateRooms.com - Judas Priest to Headline Prague Show

    PRAGUE, CZECH REPUBLIC, June 28, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Grammy award-winning heavy metal band Judas Priest will play in Prague later this month.

The veteran hard rockers are set to take the stage at the Prague O2 Arena on June 28th as part of a summer European tour taking in cities such as Belgrade, Bucharest, Istanbul and Sofia.

Formed in 1969, the band have sold more than 50 million records to date and have been cited as a major influence by many modern alternative musicians.

Their twin-lead guitar style, leather-clad appearance and frontman Rob Halford's operatic singing style make them an unforgettable live proposition.

Bassist Ian Hill is the only founding member left in the group, with Halford having joined in 1973 to replace original vocalist Al Atkins.

Supporting Judas Priest will be 1980s rock icons Whitesnake, who were founded in 1977 after David Coverdale left Deep Purple.

They have enjoyed a number of reunions, with the latest incarnation of the band releasing Good to Be Bad in 2008 and Forevermore earlier this year.

Tickets for the show start from 890 koruna (GBP32.50). The gig starts at 19:30 local time.

Music fans can find a vast selection of Prague hotels at LateRooms.com, which recommends options such as the Hotel Tosca Prague.
