Anyone who is a fan of both Judas Priest and Iron Maiden will probably be thinking this thought or something similar: TAKE MY MONEY NOW!! Iron Maiden bassist talks about the possibility of these two veteran metal bands doing a co-headline tour. When asked about the idea of an Iron Maiden-Judas Priest co-headline tour, Steve Harris replied "Why not?"
Harris, who has a band outside of Iron Maiden called British Lions, has released their second album, The Burning. During an interview with Eddie Trunk on Sirius XM's Trunk Nation, he admitted he had seen Rob Halford's comments on hoping for a co-headline tour. He said, with a shrug "So, I don't know. I suppose the management has gotta get their heads together and [make] something like that [happen]. But, yeah, why not? I suppose the fans can push for it to happen. But we'll see."
If this tour does happen, it would mark the first time in music history that two titans of metal would be touring together. The first time it happened in 1981 when Priest was touring in support of Point of Entry and Iron Maiden were touring in support of Killers. Looking back on those times, nearly 40 years later, Harris remarked "[I have] lots of good memories and I really love that album-Point of Entry. Some people don't think it's their favorite Priest album, but I suppose because we were on tour [with Priest at the time] really liked it."
2020 was a busy year for Harris. His side band British Lion released their second album The Burning. It was the first album they released since their 2012 debut. They'll be touring in support of it. When that concludes, it's back to all things Maiden
