Concert: Saxon and Iced Earth

When I read about this concert a cold chill ran down my spine as I drifted into flashback mode. Always creepy when a name from your past reappears out of the blue to haunt you. Saxon were one of my little brothers favourite bands in the early 1980's and even though they were not my cup of tea I still remember 'Wheels of Steel' blaring out of the old Wharfedales over and over again and a strange little square tin badge he treasured for many years (he's probably still wearing it under the lapel of his Armani suit). One of the classic old-school British Heavy Rock bands, beloved band of TV superstar Justin Lee Collins.

Biff Byford and the boys will be co-headlining with US band Iced Earth fronted by the charismatic Jon Schaffer. Iced Earth have been heavily influenced by the classic Brit Rock bands of the 70's and 80's such as Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest but have added a thrash metal edge to the proceedings.

The evenings concert goes out under the banner of 'The Battalions of Steel Tour'. Tickets are 100PLN in advance and 110PLN on the dark night itself and The Gates of Hell will open at 7pm.
