Metal legends SAXON have announced a new date for Scottish fans to see the band, following the cancellation of the Glasgow Braehead Arena show on October 18th 2019, due to lead singer Biff Byford’s recent heart operation.

The new date is Friday March 27th 2020 and the venue is Glasgow Barrowland Ballroom.

Due to venue restrictions this show will not be a “Castles & Eagles” production as previously advertised.

Biff Byford stated: “I am very sorry that we couldn’t reschedule the previously announced show at Braehead Arena with the full production we had planned, but after a couple of weeks of trying to get availability at Braehead Arena and other Scottish venues that could house the production we had drawn a blank. We decided we had to play a show for all our fans in Scotland and Barrowland’s stepped up with clearing the date we needed. Unfortunately due to Barrowland’s size restrictions we cannot put the Castles & Eagles production in and hope you all understand, but we will try to make this as special a show for you as possible”

Special guests on this show will be GIRLSCHOOL.
