Courtesy of Adrenaline PR Rob Halford has joined the performer lineup for this year’s Alternative Press Music Awards. The Judas Priest frontman will take the stage alongside Babymetal, the teenage pop-metal band from Japan.
“It’s really cool to hear and watch such a strong young Japanese metal band make solid growth in the world with such unique conviction and invite me to headbang along with them for this special appearance,” says Halford in a statement. “Further proof of the continuing power exchange from the roots of metal into the future metalsphere!”
Other artists performing at this year’s APMAs include A Day to Remember, Of Mice & Men, Papa Roach and Beartooth.
The 2016 Alternative Press Music Awards will be held held July 18 in Columbus, Ohio.
