Location: COS Torwar, Warsaw
Date: 28/07/2026
Organizer: Live Nation PolskaIf there is a heavy metal Mount Olympus, Judas Priest have a permanent suite at the top floor. Over fifty years in, these titans refuse to slow down, insisting on touring with the same fire they once carried through smoky clubs in Birmingham. Now they bring the “Faithkeepers Tour 2026” to Warsaw, ready to test the structural integrity of Torwar and, frankly, anyone’s neck muscles.
The announcement alone sent a jolt through the Polish metal community. Very few bands can claim such a consistent impact across generations. Judas Priest are one of the rare outfits who still perform like they have something to prove, even though the proof is already written in metal history. When Rob Halford walks on stage, leather glistening, voice sharper than barbed wire, it creates that unmistakable surg, the feeling that you’re witnessing a band that shaped the genre from the ground up.
Warsaw gets its turn on 28 July, and it is hard not to imagine a crowd roaring along to “Breaking The Law”, “Painkiller” and whatever fresh thunder they decide to unleash from their modern era. COS Torwar will not offer subtlety that night. It will be loud, heavy, almost ceremonial, the kind of gathering that reminds you why heavy metal still matters in 2026.
Ticketmaster presale opens Tuesday 2 December at 12:00, while general sale follows on Wednesday 3 December at the same hour. Expect them to vanish faster than a Halford high note. This is one of those shows where hesitation equals regret.
Judas Priest are coming back to Warsaw, and they are bringing the full weight of their legacy with them. Mark the date. Wear something sturdy. The Metal Gods still rule.
