KK’s Priest & Accept
Full Metal Assault Tour 2024
September 16, 2024 by DJ Gunderson
SoCal heavy metal fans will be treated to thunderous riffs, blistering solos, and classic heavy metal energy as KK’s Priest and Accept brings their much-anticipated Full Metal Assault 2024 Tour to the area.
The trek, which promises to be one of the most unforgettable heavy metal tours of the year, will make multiple stops in Southern California before ending its run in San Francisco.
KK’s Priest, led by the legendary K.K. Downing – one of the founding members of the iconic Judas Priest – has been making waves since their formation.
Downing, widely recognized for his revolutionary contributions to heavy metal guitar, has teamed up with another Judas Priest alum, the powerhouse vocalist Tim “Ripper” Owens, to deliver a crushing sound that pays homage to the classic era of metal while pushing the boundaries forward.
Their 2021 debut album “Sermons of the Sinner” was met with critical acclaim, and their sophomore release, “The Sinner Rides Again,” continued to deliver the same electrifying intensity.
Packed with powerful riffs, soaring vocals, and a gleaming production, it’s a record that has captivated both old-school metalheads and younger fans alike.
Downing’s current lineup includes the phenomenal talents of bassist Tony Newton, guitarist A.J. Mills, and drummer Les Binks – another Judas Priest veteran who brings decades of drumming expertise to the fold. Together, this band promises a setlist filled with both their latest work and potential classics from the Judas Priest catalog.
Sharing the stage with KK’s Priest is none other than Accept, the pioneering force behind Teutonic metal. With a career spanning over four decades, Accept is a band that helped shape the very foundation of the heavy metal genre. Known for their razor-sharp riffs, anthemic choruses, and powerful vocals, Accept continues to prove their dominance in the metal world.
Their 2024 album “Humanoid” has been praised as a career-defining record. Fans can expect the group, led by guitarist Wolf Hoffmann, to unleash a barrage of new tracks alongside timeless classics like “Balls to the Wall” and “Metal Heart.”
The Full Metal Assault 2024 Tour offers fans a full-blown experience. KK’s Priest and Accept, both legends in their own right, are touring together for the first time, and this may very well be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see them share the stage.
Their journey began in Los Angeles in August and will culminate in San Francisco on October 7th, making the two SoCal shows some of the final stops on the tour. You can catch it October 4th in Riverside at Fox Performing Arts Center, and October 5th in San Diego at The Magnolia.
For heavy metal lovers, this is an absolute must-see event. Get your tickets now and prepare for a night of pure metal mayhem as KK’s Priest and Accept bring the Full Metal Assault 2024 Tour to Riverside and San Diego.
