Never tired of the road, Saxon announce the UK leg of their Sacrifice World Tour in support of the upcoming album of the same name. The New Wave of British Heavy Metal legends will play 9 dates in April 2013 and they can\u2019t wait to share their new material on stage. Tickets go onsale at 9.00am on Friday 2nd November – full details below.<\/p>\n
Throughout the years, Saxon have been touring relentlessly and earning an excellent reputation for the quality and energy of their performances. This is documented in their \u2018Heavy Metal Thunder \u2013 The Movie\u2019, which is released on 7th December. As UK fans await \u2018Sacrifice\u2019 with the same anticipation reserved for Saxon\u2019s previous work, they know the spring shows will be – as always – a treat not to be missed.<\/p>\n
Biff Byford says \u201cPeople have been asking me if this is going to be our last album and tour – we don\u2019t know yet we\u2019ll see how it goes.\u201d <\/p>\n

After more than 35 years and 13 million albums sold worldwide, Saxon are still relentless and passionate as they were back in the days of \u2018Wheels of Steel\u2019 and \u2018Denim and Leather\u2019. The influential heavy metal outfit has been an inspiration for the likes of Metallica and Megadeth and a front-runner for the New Wave of British Heavy Metal sweeping the nation in the late 70s-early 80s. New Studio album \u2018Sacrifice\u2019 out on February 25th, will be album number 20 in their stellar career, and fans are as excited as they were when Saxon first made their initial impact on the metal scene.<\/p>\n
