Judas Priest kicked off their summer 2025 Shield of Pain tour with a show dominated by songs from their classic Painkiller album Thursday night at Rockfest in Turku, Finland.
You can see the complete set list and fan-shot video from the show below.
Seven of the 19 songs the British heavy metal legends performed at the show were from the 1990 album, which found the band powerfully re-asserting their place in the heavy metal hierarchy after the emergence of thrash metal pioneers such as Metallica and Slayer.

After performing only the title track from Painkiller on their 2024-2025 Invincible Shield tour, Rob Halford and company added the opening one-two punch of “All Guns Blazing” and “Hell Patrol,” “A Touch of Evil,” “Night Crawler” (first time since 2012), “One Shot at Glory” and “Between the Hammer and the Anvil” from the album at the Rockfest show.
The night also marked the live debut of “The Serpent and the King,” from the band’s most recent album, 2024’s Invincible Shield. Remarkably, the band left the Screaming for Vengeance opening track “Electric Eye” out of the set list.
Judas Priest’s 2025 European tour continues Saturday, June 14 in Hamar, Norway and is set to conclude July 25 in London at the O2. The band will team up with Alice Cooper and Corrosion of Conformity for a North American tour that kicks off Sept 16 in Biloxi, Mississippi.
