Saxon vocalist Biff Byford:
“Ok, this is part 1 of the colossal Thunderbolt world tour. We’re going to be touring the whole of 2018 so get your tickets and join the ride. It’s gonna be fast and furious, dark and brooding. Monumental riffing and screaming vocals loud and proud, it’s going to be a Saxon tour, unique in every way.”
