This hasn't been 100% confirmed yet.

TESTAMENT Singer Confirms JUDAS PRIEST, HEAVEN AND HELL, MOTÖRHEAD Summer North American Tour

According to Headbanger's Blog, putting nearly three months of rumors to rest, TESTAMENT singer Chuck Billy announced onstage last night (April 6th) that his band will be opening for the upcoming JUDAS PRIEST, HEAVEN AND HELL and MOTÖRHEAD tour this August.
“We’ll be on first, and we’re only gonna have 30 minutes, so we won’t be doing any talking,” Billy said towards the end of the band’s set at B.B. King Blues Club and Grill in Midtown, New York. “We’re just gonna hit you hard — bam, bam, bam, bam — with everything we’ve got.”

On April 2, Pollstar prematurely posted (then removed) the first eight stops for the tour, which is reportedly slated to begin August 2 in Dallas, TX (additional dates below).

2 - Smirnoff Music Center - Dallas, TX
7 - Bristow, VA - Nissan Pavilion At Stone Ridge

15 - Uncasville, CT - Mohegan Sun
16 - Burgettstown, PA - Post-Gazette Pavilion
18 - Clarkston, MI - DTE Energy Music Theatre

I'll travel to wherever to see this. Too bad testament only gets 30 minutes. They rank in the top 3 best live bands I have ever seen.

I'm going to wait a bit and see if they get any closer. If they don't it looks like I'm goin to Toronto. And I LOVE Toronto.
