Judas Priest have announced rescheduled 2022 North American shows for their ongoing "50 Heavy Metal Years" tour, with Queensryche replacing Sabaton as the support act.

The six-week trek begins on March 4 in Peoria, Ill., and concludes on April 13 in Hamilton, Ont. You can see the new 2022 dates below. Most tickets are on sale now on Ticketmaster's website, although a few shows will go on sale Dec. 3.

Judas Priest were forced to postpone their tour after guitarist Richie Faulkner suffered a ruptured aorta during their Sept. 26 performance at the Louder Than Life Festival in Louisville, Ky. Video from the event shows Faulkner performing as his aorta ruptures. He was rushed to a nearby hospital immediately following Judas Priest’s performance and underwent a 10-plus-hour surgery.

"I can see in my face the confusion and anguish I was feeling while playing 'Painkiller' as my aorta ruptured and started to spill blood into my chest cavity," he said in a statement following the incident. Faulkner recently assured fans he was “feeling very strong and positive” seven weeks after his surgery, and is “playing guitar every day.”

Judas Priest had also been scheduled to tour the U.K. and Europe with Ozzy Osbourne in 2022, but the Prince of Darkness recently postponed those dates for a second time. They are now slated to hit the road together in 2023.
