saxon have what about 12 festival dates so far this summer coming up which is great, but not one of them in the uk.

Come on saxon managment lets have one at least this summer in the uk,
The rock and blues fest maybe or the bulldog bash or whatever.

ROCK THE NATIONS YEAH, NOT JUST OVERSEAS WHEN IT COMES TO FESTIVAL DATES.
 
hey come on pal
saxon have toured here twice in the last nine months leave the uk festivals to the american bands lol thats all the promoters are interested in
 
they should. The only festival saxon can get into is bloodstock really and thats going more and more towards powermetal now, whereas before there were a lot more british bands like blaze and powerquest playing
 
THEY MAY HAVE TOURED HERE RECENTLY,BUT THEY ONLY DO 4 AT A TIME,AND THEY HAVE THE AUDACITY TO HAVE ..SAXON ENGLAND..ON THEIR SHIRTS...AND ITS ABOUT TIME THEY PLAYED SHEFFIELD AGAIN,THEY AINT PLAYED HERE SINCE 98:mad: :mad: :mad: :cry: :cry: ...THEY SEEM TO HAVE FORGOTTEN THEIR YORKSHIRE ROOTS......SAXON......SHEFFIELD NEEDS YOU..:heh:

Ain't played the US in fuck all.....
 
Well said Timothy! Some so-called Saxon fans will only be bothered to see 'em if they are playing 5 minutes down the road and there is nothing good on telly that night - and even then, they'd complain about the setlist/price of ticket/venue/whatever! Some "fans", eh? God forbid you should want to put yourself out and travel a whopping 30 miles to the nearest gig!

With any luck, Saxon might play your back garden on the next tour! That close enough?!
 
hey wilks , i just had to say something bout the person complaining about not playing in sheffield and questioning saxons english roots ... and as for saxon not playing in the usa i sympathise with all saxons american fans .. but in there defence the usa is a massive continent and with such, a tour must be astronomical both financially and logistically...... perhaps a solution would be for saxon to either tour as a support act to say maiden or tour as part of a package ie saxon ,edguy and helloween all having a 60 min setlist and taking it in turns to headline. i know edguy supported dragonforce on there uk tour ,then dragonforce supported edguy on there european tour ....its only a thourght but it might work
 
I think Saxon will play next years monsters of rock.Its the first year back andits a great line up.Ok i cant stand most the line up but strong enough to get it back on its feet.Lets face if there are two acts that know how to play big crowds its the purps and Alice.
The whole thing is based round classic rock,and let face you don't get much more classic than Saxon.
 
i agree wilks .... lets hope saxon get a high position on the bill after all they were the first band to play the monsters of rock twice
 
OI SYKESY...YOU OBVIOUSLY HAVE MORE MONEY THAN SENSE...BRADFORD/MANCHESTER 30 MILES AWAY??...EXACTLEY..TELL THAT TO THE BAND....ITS THE BANDS THAT ARE SUPPOSED TO TOUR NOT US..THEY SHOULD COME TO US,NOT US TO THEM
 
i wasnt going to rise to the bait ... but sod it
if you really think that saxon have both the time and money to visit every town or city that has saxon fans residing there then im sure they will be playing in la la land just for you
saxon are one of the hardest working bands that there is ..... they are recording a new album in the autumn and hope to release it early next year followed by yet another european tour ..... now take any other band.... erm...iron maiden good old english band ...2 studio albums in 7 years and 1 full uk tour in 8 years now thats hard working for yer..... or metallica 1 studio album in 7 years 1 uk tour in 7 years need i go on .... some bands rest on there past glories, and royalties some just go on and on and on .. i just hope that saxon dont have to rely on people like you who have nothing better to do than piss people off on this forum ... please find some emo band and go moshing in some trendy uni bar or go take a long walk off a short pier either way you are an insult to be included in the same company as us loyal fans who will go wherever whenever and at great cost to see one of the finest exponants of british metal that there has ever been .... i end my rant oh ive found the perfect site for you
