Biff Byford , vocalist of Saxon , sent a video especially for fans in South America to apologize for the canceled show at Monsters of Rock and to invite the public to the shows here. In Brazil, the four shows will take place in November of this year.
Originally, Saxon was scheduled to perform at the Monsters of Rock festival in April of this year, but canceled the show after the departure of Paul Quinn , the band's original guitarist, and canceled all commitments in South America. “I would like to offer my sincerest apologies for the cancellation in the past. (…) It’s not easy rehearsing some of our newer songs [for the shows] and everything else, we even thought we might have to postpone the tour for this album,” explained Byford.
Saxon returns to Brazil with the Seize The Day World Tour , promoting their latest album, Carpe Diem (2022). The current lineup features Biff Byford (vocals), Doug Scarrat (guitars), Nibs Carter (bass), Nigel Glockler (drums), and Brian Tatler, from Diamond Head, who replaced Quinn.
The shows in Brazil will take place in Curitiba, São Paulo, Belo Horizonte, and Brasília, before moving on to other Latin American countries, with shows in Argentina, Colombia, Chile, and Mexico featuring hits from their nearly 50-year career. The production is by Toplink Music.
In Curitiba, Saxon will perform on the 14th at Ópera de Arame, with tickets starting at R$130 (available at Bilheto ); followed by São Paulo at Tokio Marine Hall on November 15th (pre-sale at Eventim ); Belo Horizonte will host the band on the 17th at Mister Rock, starting at R$140 (at Clube do Ingresso ); Brasília will close the Brazilian tour on the 18th at Toinha Brasil, with tickets starting at R$140 (sales through the official website ).
