The Return of the Priest Tour was a 1971 concert tour by British heavy metal band Judas Priest running from 6 March 1971 until 28 December 1971 throughout England and a couple of dates in Wales.
This tour consisted of a differently formed Judas Priest, in which they were called Freight at the time. It featured founding members K.K. Downing (guitar) and Ian Hill (bass) along with John Ellis (drums) and Al Atkins (vocals).
Atkins asked to join the band, in which they accepted his offer, and also suggested to use the Judas Priest name from the original group he fronted, which disbanded in April 1970.
The band would tour with Black Sabbath.
