Judas Priest’s set list featured fewer surprises by comparison, but they made up for it with blunt-force impact.

The band played two cuts off 2024’sInvincible Shield — “Gates of Hell” and “Giants in the Sky” — as well as time-honored classics “Breaking the Law, “Living After Midnight,” “Hell Bent for Leather” and “You’ve Got Another Thing Coming.” They also playedPoint of Entry nugget “Solar Angels,” which theybrought out of retirement this year after two decades.

Judas Priestrecently paid tribute to Ozzy Osbourne with a cover of Black Sabbath‘s “War Pigs,” which they’ve been using as theirpre-show opening music for years. Frontman Rob Halford recently revealedtheir plans to release another “colossal” version of the song featuring Osbourne’s vocals as well.

“You get Ozzy singing a line and then I’m singing a line, and Ozzy’s singing a line and I’m singing a line. It’s the first ever time in my entire life that I’ve been able to do a duet with Ozzy, and I’m so eternally grateful and blessed that I was able to do that,”Halford told Full Metal Jackie. “When you hear Priest’s ‘War Pigs’ with Ozzy singing on that track, it’s just going to a really special place.”
