Setlist and videos of Judas Priest’s first 2026 show

Judas Priest launched its Faithkeepers Tour on July 25 in Mönchengladbach, Germany, marking the band’s first concert of 2026. The current lineup, featuring Rob Halford (vocals), Ian Hill (bass), Richie Faulkner (guitar), Andy Sneap (guitar), and Scott Travis (drums), brought back several songs that hadn’t been performed live in years.

“The Ripper” was performed live for the first time since 2019. “Delivering the Goods” also returned to the setlist for the first time since 2019 and, remarkably, it was the first time Judas Priest had ever performed the song in Europe since 1980. Another European debut was “Steeler”, which the band had never played live on the continent before.
