It’s not the same band it once was, but without Saxon, the heavy metal scene as we know it today would be far different.

OG frontman Biff Byford’s voice remains as vibrant and intact as ever, and he shows off said flexibility on the band’s new album Hell, Fire and Damnation.

After a run of shows with Judas Priest and Uriah Heep, the latter classic English rock outfit co-headlines with Saxon on the second date of its U.S. tour.

Tickets to see Saxon play Hard Rock Event Center at Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Tampa on Wednesday, April 24 are still available and start at $35.
