KK's Priest - featuring former Judas Priest members K.K. Downing at Tim "Ripper" Owens - performed Judas Priest's "Victim Of Changes" during their August 13th, 2023 set at the Bloodstock Open Air festival in Walton-on-Trent, United Kingdom. Pro-shot video of the performance can be viewed below.
Bloodstock: "Dive into the intense energy and fervor of KK's Priest as they graced the stage at Bloodstock 2023, delivering a performance destined to be remembered in metal lore. On the unforgettable evening of August 13th, 2023, amidst the picturesque setting of Catton Park, the band made a grand entrance as special guests to the legendary Megadeth, igniting the stage with their powerful rendition of 'Victim of Changes'. This act was more than a mere performance; it was a homage to the unyielding spirit of heavy metal.
As the initial chords of 'Victim of Changes' filled Catton Park, the crowd was transported to a domain where classic metal rules supreme. The performance was not only a tribute to the genre's storied past but also a spotlight on the band's distinctive sound and flair. The connection between KK's Priest and the audience was enchanting, forging a collective experience that celebrated the enduring power and passion of metal music."

"We will be very proud to bring you the finest British steel from England — where the embryo of this beloved music was conceived so many years ago. The sands of time have moved so quickly for us all, but I am sure we all feel incredibly fortunate to have been a part of this nostalgic journey. I look forward to seeing everyone again — rest assured that it will be “Blood and Thunder,” with “Hellfire Thunderbolts” and much more.
