The ninth annual Welcome To Rockville Festival expanded to 3 days in 2019, spread out across Jacksonville, Florida’s Metropolitan Park along the St John’s River. The weekend was full of memorable shows from the top bands in the rock world.
On Saturday night, May 4, 2019, the Priest was back! Judas Priest proved that they are still Metal Gods with a riff-filled, fist-pumping set of classics and songs from their latest outstanding album, “Firepower”.
Rob Halford is still one of the most engaging and theatrical front men around. Original bassist Ian Hill has been getting the job done on the low end for 50 years. Scott Travis has been manning the drum kit and backing vocals for 30 years. They keep the classic rhythms going, allowing guitarists Richie Faulkner and Andy Sneap to riff and solo in the spirit of K.K. Downing and Glenn Tipton.
Judas Priest continue to tour and record, riding the wave of British heavy metal for all it’s worth. Check out http://judaspriest.com.
