I've been a huge Saxon fan for close 17 yrs now and I was wondering if the Killing Ground tour was going to hit US shores? I certainly hope so.

Almost cetainly in 2002 - supporting Killing Ground.
Keep an eye on the News Page, as soon as it is being discussed, it will be announced!!
Tentative plans for next year include:
1. Continue with KG Euro tour into countries so far not visited.
2. Play a number of festivals.
3. Tour USA and other countries.
In no particular order, but as yet no clear cut plans either until it is placed on the news page.
If Saxon tours, they need to hit Cincinnati, OH. And would it just be Saxon alone or some kind of package? You should get October 31 (on Metal Blade) as a support. The 100% true metal tour.
NP-Saxon-"Killing Ground"
Actually, I did see Saxon live once in 1982 opening on a bill with Krokus and Cheap Trick. That was my introduction to both them and Krokus. It has been 19 years and counting so I am definitely due to see them again. COME TO CINCINNATI, OH. Annie's, Bogart';s or Top Cat's. Who is Saxon's US booking agent? Is it Sammy Boyd?
NP-The Gathering-"Mandylion"
They supported their Metalhead cd with a tour of the USA two years ago. It was my first time seeing Saxon live and they did not dissappoint!
If I remember, they mainly played Midwest cities and Mexico. I saw them in the Madison, WI area..I know they also played Chicago, many Texas cities and a few other cities...
The tour received no promotion, but for the few hundred (each venue) in attendance, it was a great show...Over two hours of classic heavy metal music from Saxon, spanning their entire career!
I will definitely see Saxon next year if their tour comes to a nearby venue (hopefully Milwaukee, WI)
DEFEND THE FAITH
I think it would be great for Saxon to tour with another "name" band like Dio or Judas Priest.
I saw this tour too. Saxon and Krokus don't quite seem to fit the bill with Cheap Trick, but the show was awesome. I was in the front row and Biff gave me a poster of the Strong Arm cover. Great show! Krokus was great too, got one of their picks. Cheap Trick even put on a good show relative to the metalheads.
Damned straight they're on tour!!! And they will be in San Antonio April 13th.
Can't wait to see these guys up close as they pound out Princess and Wheels of Steel.
I don't know where they are positioned. Moxy and Legs Diamond are on the bill too. All of these bands kick-ass!!! so let them all headline.
Saxon comes through every couple of years and they always kick-ass!!
