Saxon unfortunately have to cancel all dates - Krokus will replace them at W:O:A

07/01/2025

Sad news people, Heavy Metal legends Saxon had to cancel shows and festival appearances while singer Biff Byford undergoes an emergency procedure. We wish Biff a speedy recovery and sincerely hope to have them on the Holy Ground again in the next years! Stepping up are Swiss Metal legends Krokus who will be celebrating their last years 50th anniversary, in almost original line up! They will surely be having you ‘Screaming in the Night’.
