Barnsley metal behemoths Saxon have announced the support act for the upcoming UK & Ireland leg of the Gods of Thunder World Tour Part 1.
Saxon’s special guests at all 11 shows in February 2027 are Californian heavy metal veterans Armored Saint.
Sharing the news, an ecstatic Saxon wrote: ‘The Mighty Saxon are pleased to announce their friends from Los Angeles, Armored Saint, will be our special guests on the upcoming Gods of Thunder UK & Ireland Tour!
‘GET IN THERE!’
Tickets to Saxon’s UK tour are on sale from Planet Rock Tickets now.
Saxon unleash their 25th studio album ‘Gods of Thunder’ on Friday 22nd January, ahead of their tour.
Making next year’s tour extra special, Saxon will revive their legendary 30-foot mechanised Eagle for all UK and Ireland shows, apart from Cardiff due to venue restrictions.
Fans can also expect the return of Saxon’s celebrated Castles & Eagles stage production, promising one of the most spectacular live presentations in the band’s history.
“We wanted to make the Gods of Thunder UK & Ireland tour extra special,” says Biff Byford. “And what better way than to fly our beloved Saxon Eagle again... Get ready for take-off!”
