Former JUDAS PRIEST guitarist K.K. Downing will join ex-MANOWAR axeman Ross “The Boss” Friedman for several songs at this year’s Bloodstock Open Air festival on August 11 at Catton Park, Derbyshire, United Kingdom.
This will be K.K.‘s first public performance since October 17, 2009, when JUDAS PRIEST played the final “British Steel 30th Anniversary” date on the “Nostradamus” world tour at Japan’s Loud Park festival in Chiba City, Japan.
K.K. states:
“I’m really delighted and really looking forward to sharing the stage with Ross The Boss and saying hello to all our fans together. For me, as you know, it’s been far too long, so I sincerely hope to see as many familiar faces as possible at this truly unique event. True metal for true metal fans at the U.K.’s truest metal festival. United we stand!”
