| Judas Priest concert chronology | |
The Unleashed in the East Tour was a 1979 concert tour by British heavy metal band, Judas Priest, in support of their 1st live album, Unleashed in the East, where the band toured in North America & Europe from September 1 to December 15, 1979. This tour featured new drummer Dave Holland from Trapeze, who joined in 1979 after Les Binks departed the group, citing dissatisfaction with the band's desire to move towards a simplified radio rock sound which would give them legendary status.
In September 1979, the band supported KISS on their Dynasty Tour in the United States.
From November 11 to December 15, the band supported AC/DC on their Highway to Hell Tour in Europe (mostly in Germany & France along with a couple of shows in the Netherlands & Belgium).
"Starbreaker" would be played again during the "Epitaph World Tour."
