**𝘽𝙍𝙀𝘼𝙆𝙄𝙉𝙂: Judas Priest Icons Rob Halford and Richie Faulkner Announce New Solo Project and Upcoming Tour**

 

*Los Angeles, CA –* In a surprise announcement that has sent shockwaves through the metal world, **Rob Halford** and **Richie Faulkner** of *Judas Priest* have officially unveiled a brand-new **solo collaboration project**, accompanied by an **upcoming tour** set to launch in 2026.

 

The project—still untitled as of now—marks the first time the two icons have stepped outside the Judas Priest banner to work together as a duo. Described as a blend of “classic heavy metal, modern grit, and personal fire,” the new music promises to explore uncharted sonic territory while still paying homage to the roots that made them legends.

 

> “This isn’t just a side gig,” said Halford. “It’s a creative evolution. Richie and I have poured our hearts and souls into this. It’s metal, it’s honest, and it’s something we’ve wanted to do for a long time.”

 

### ⚡ A Powerful New Direction

 

Richie Faulkner, who joined Judas Priest in 2011 and helped revitalize the band’s sound, added:

 

> “We wanted to do something fresh—something raw and fearless. The riffs are heavy, the vocals are soaring, and there’s no label dictating the rules. It’s all from the gut.”

 

Sources close to the project say the upcoming album is in the final stages of production, with an official single set to drop later this year. The material reportedly touches on themes of survival, personal rebirth, and the eternal power of metal.

 

### 🎸 2026 Tour Plans Revealed

 

Alongside the new music, Halford and Faulkner will be hitting the road for a **limited-run solo tour** across select cities in the U.S., UK, and Europe. The tour will feature tracks from the new album, rare Priest deep cuts, and possibly some surprise guests from the metal elite.

 

VIP packages and pre-sale ticket information will be released soon, with full dates to follow.

 

### 🔥 Metal Fans Rejoice

 

While Judas Priest gears up for their final farewell tour with Iron Maiden, Halford and Faulkner are proving that the end of one chapter is only the beginning of another. This solo venture represents a bold new horizon—and fans are already calling it one of the most exciting post-Priest projects in recent memory.
