British heavy metal legends SAXON have announced the "Hell, Fire And Steel" tour of the United Kingdom and Ireland for the fall of 2025. The trek will see the Biff Byford-fronted outfit play its entire 1980 album "Wheels Of Steel" in full, alongside tracks from the band's latest effort, 2024's "Hell, Fire And Damnation".
Support on the tour, which includes dates in Belfast, Dublin, Manchester, Sheffield, Glasgow, Newcastle, Bristol, Wolverhampton, London and Cardiff, will come from DIRKSCHNEIDER, the band featuring former ACCEPT members Udo Dirkschneider and Peter Baltes. DIRKSCHNEIDER will perform ACCEPT's classic 1983 album "Balls To The Wall" in its entirety to celebrate the LP's 40th anniversary.
Byford says: "We first toured with Udoand ACCEPT in the U.S.A on our 'Crusader' tour and have done lots of stuff together since, but we have never toured the U.K. together so this is gonna be epic. 'Balls To The Wall' and 'Wheels Of Steel'under the same roof... It's going to be something really special to witness. Bring it on!"
Tickets for the tour go on sale on Friday, November 29 at 10 a.m.
