Saxon Tickets

Saxon are a legendary British heavy metal band who have been a defining force in the genre since their formation in 1977. Hailing from Barnsley, Yorkshire, they were part of the groundbreaking New Wave of British Heavy Metal (NWOBHM) movement in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Known for their powerful riffs, anthemic songs, and larger-than-life stage presence, Saxon quickly established themselves as metal icons with classic albums like Wheels of Steel (1980), Strong Arm of the Law (1980), and Denim and Leather (1981). Tracks such as “Princess of the Night” and “747 (Strangers in the Night)” remain fan favourites, celebrated for their high-octane energy and timeless appeal.

With a career spanning over four decades, Saxon have remained a relentless force, releasing critically acclaimed albums like Thunderbolt (2018) and Carpe Diem (2022) while continuing to tour extensively around the globe. Their live performances are renowned for their raw energy and crowd engagement, making them a staple act at festivals like Download and Bloodstock Open Air. Fronted by the charismatic Biff Byford, Saxon’s legacy as one of the pioneers of British heavy metal is cemented, inspiring generations of musicians and fans alike.
