L.A. Cobra named as support act for Judas Priest

Bringing in the big guns, Judas Priest have just announced (via Big Concerts) that L.A. Cobra are confirmed as the support act for their show in Johannesburg which will be taking place on the 22nd March 2019 in Johannesburg at the Ticketpro Dome.

There are few heavy metal bands that have managed to scale the heights that Judas Priest have during their 40-year career. Formed in the early ’70s in Birmingham, England, Priest were one of the first metal bands to exclusively wear leather and studs – a look that began during this era and would eventually be embraced by metal heads throughout the world.

Judas Priest went on to change the face of heavy metal. A 2010 Grammy Award win for ‘Best Metal Performance, a 2017 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nomination, the current album ‘Firepower’ released in March 2018 has become the highest ­charting album of their career plus scorching their way round the world in sell out shows on the Firepower tour has cemented the presence and influence of Judas Priest at an all-time high!

Formed in November 2005, L.A. Cobra are flying the 80’s Glam Rock Flag from the handlebars of their Harleys whilst making a name for themselves internationally and locally. The band is: Don Cobra on vocals and guitar, Slade on lead guitar, Ewil on bass guitar and Callie The Animal on drums, bringing back those memorable guitar solos and hard rock shows we’re all starved for!L.A. Cobra has played on various festivals over the past 13 years, Oppikoppi, Krank’d Up Festival, Splashy Fen, ThornFest, The Sleazeball – Australia (Don Cobra) Rock City in – Switzerland (Don Cobra) and Blue Rose Club – Italy (Don Cobra) to name a few. L.A. Cobra will embark on a European, Scandinavian and UK tour early in March 2019 where they’ll perform at Sleazefest 2019 in Bochum (Germany) alongside international bands Crashdïet(SE) and Wildstreet(USA).
