British heavy metal giants Saxon have announced the first UK and Ireland leg of their Gods of Thunder World Tour. The eleven date tour will feature the revival of their legendary 30-foot mechanised Eagle for all UK and Ireland shows, with the exception of Cardiff due to venue restrictions. Saxon will also be bringing the Castles & Eagles stage production.
Originally constructed in the early 1980s as Saxon prepared to tour their seminal album Denim and Leather, the iconic Eagle was built by Midlands-based company LSD using airport runway landing lights. It made its first appearance during a pre-tour rehearsal in London before becoming an enduring symbol of the band.
Towering above audiences during Saxon’s massive arena tours, the emblematic Eagle quickly became Saxon’s mascot and inspired the title of their acclaimed 1982 UK Top 5 live album, The Eagle Has Landed, leading to fans requesting its presence ever since.
“We wanted to make the Gods of Thunder UK & Ireland tour extra special,” comments founding member and front man Biff Byford. “And what better way than to fly our beloved Saxon Eagle again... Get ready for take-off!”
Alongside the recent announcement of their highly anticipated 25th studio album on Silver Lining Music , 2027 looks to be an exciting year for Biff and Co.
