The iconic KK'S PRIEST - featuring JUDAS PRIEST alum and GRAMMY Award musicians K.K. Downing (guitar) and Tim "Ripper" Owens (vocals) - are thrilled to announce their upcoming USA headline tour, kicking off on March 7, 2024 in Fort Lauderdale, FL and featuring support from special guests L.A. GUNS and Napalm Records label mates BURNING WITCHES. This tour is scheduled to be the first of at least a two leg USA tour, planned to continue later in 2024.
Tickets for this monumental tour are on sale now. Check local venues or visit www.kkspriest.com to buy yours!
K.K. Downing says:
"It has been far too long! I am very excited to announce that KK'S PRIEST will soon have the honour of playing our first ever shows in the USA starting March 7th 2024. Finally, KK'S PRIEST metal is coming to my dear home away from home.
We will be very proud to bring you the finest British steel from England - where the embryo of this beloved music was conceived so many years ago. The sands of time have moved so quickly for us all, but I am sure we all feel incredibly fortunate to have been a part of this nostalgic journey. I look forward to seeing everyone again - rest assured that it will be "Blood And Thunder" with "Hellfire Thunderbolts" and much more. We promise to make history again together with you on this very special occasion.
See you very soon!"

This past September, KK'S PRIEST unveiled their blistering sophomore offering, The Sinner Rides Again, to rave reviews! Blabbermouth dubbed it "an absolutely ripping metal record", while Paste stated, "...with all respect to Rob Halford and co., nothing they've produced in recent years feels as dynamic and as heavy as the material that their former guitarist has been forging with his project KK'S PRIEST." The album debuted at #1 on the US Hard Music Albums chart, #3 on the Top New Artist Albums chart and #6 on the Current Rock Albums chart. The Sinner Rides Again also landed at #6 on the end of year NACC Heavy radio chart, while resulting as one of the top spun albums of the year at Metal Contraband.
With The Sinner Rides Again, KK'S PRIEST double down on the ripping melodic force of their debut, Sermons Of The Sinner - which Metal Hammer UK dubbed "hugely enjoyable" and Metal Injection cited as boasting "catchy hooks and plenty of guitar wizardry". The Sinner Rides Again wields nine tracks of pure hellfire, produced and written by Downing and mixed/mastered by Jacob Hansen. The celebrated new album is a call for the classics while speeding full force into the future, delivered by some of heavy metal's most essential performers.
