Judas priest redeemer of souls tour full concert 1
The Redeemer of Souls Tour was a worldwide concert tour by British heavy metal band Judas Priest. It was in support of their latest studio album Redeemer of Souls. It was also their first tour since the conclusion of the Epitaph World Tour in 2012, which was originally dubbed as a farewell tour; the band has since retracted that statement.

Setlists
The tour featured material from Redeemer of Souls for the first time. It also coincided with the 30th anniversary of the release of Defenders of the Faith and so the band played a number of songs from that album that hadn't been played since the mid-1980s.
26 February 2015: "The Hellion/Electric Eye" and "Painkiller" were added for the further legs of the tour. Shortly they removed "Defender Of The Faith" from the set. 26 June 2015: "Love Bites" and "March Of The Damned" was removed from the set. 16 October 2015: "Desert Plains", "The Rage" and "Screaming for Vengeance" (not played since 1986) were added, "Devil's Child" and "Jawbreaker" were removed from the set.
Support
For the first American leg, Judas Priest choose to play with them the glam rock band Steel Panther, whose guitar player Russ Parrish (his artistic name is Satchel) was working with Rob Halford in the 1990s when the latter created his side project, Fight.
