UFO and Saxon have announced a joint headline tour of the US.
They’ll hit the road together in March and April 2017 for a run of 16 shows, kicking off in Houston, Texas, on March 9. They’ll be supported by Jared James Nichols.
UFO vocalist Phil Mogg says: “We are polishing the guitars, cleaning up the drums, I have a new front tooth, and our crew have bought themselves fresh mascara, some new tunes, and an airline ticket to the USA. Look forward to seeing you there.”
Saxon frontman Biff Byford adds: “It’s great to be back on the road with UFO. The last time we toured together was in the 80s so it should be fun and a unique package for the fans. See you in March. Keep the faith.”
UFO are currently working on what will be their 22nd album – the follow-up to 2015’s A Conspiracy Of Stars. Saxon, meanwhile, are putting the pieces in place for their new record which will feature the track They Played Rock And Roll which was written as a tribute to late Motorhead icon Lemmy.
Saxon will head out on a European tour later this month with support from Girlschool and Fastway, and release live package Let Me Feel Your Power in the US on October 28.
