Judas Priest to Headline Fest this Fall

Judas Priest

Rebel Rock Fest just announced that legendary metal band Judas Priest are headlining this year. The fest takes place at the Orlando Amphitheater at Central Florida Fairgrounds Orlando, September 18-19, 2020. Judas Priest will headline the first day of the festival, with Limp Bizkit headlining the final night. Rebel Rock Fest is produced by Stage Left Entertainment.

Also revealed today, two additional bands from Florida, Wage War from Oala and Cold from Jacksonville, have joined the lineup.  Suicide Silence, Attila, Light The Torch, Diamonte and Saul have also been announced.

In addition to Limp Bizkit, bands previously announced include Trivium, I Prevail, Sevendust, Fuel, All That Remains, and Them Evils. Additional headliners and support bands will be named soon. 

Known as one of the first out, gay musicians in metal, Rob Halford of Judas Priest defines the aesthetic of classic metal with his leather, biker realness. Many credit the gay leather movement as inspiration for the metal aesthetic because of Halford. His style informed the look of millions of metal fans who worshipped the band, and his public coming out as a famous rock star provided a positive role model for queer kids and opened up the discussion about LGBTQ issues to the metal community.

Throughout their career, Judas Priest have sold over 50 million copies of their albums and are frequently ranked as one of the greatest metal bands of all time. They have released 18 studio albums and six live albums. On January 15, the band announced they will begin working on a new album soon.

During the festival, fans will enjoy craft foods and beer by local breweries and also see Monster Energy’s BMX League showcasing their talents. 

More information and tickets for General Admission, VIP, and Rebel Skyview Suites are can be found now on the official Rebel Rock Fest website.
