Good news for French Saxon fans! After their excellent concert alongside Judas Priest in 2024, the famous heavy metal band is preparing to return to a Parisian stage as part of their new tour, dubbed"Castles & Eagles". And Saxon isn't doing things by halves, as the British band plans to play three shows in France this year.

Biff Byford and co. will first stop off in Paris, with a concert scheduled for Thursday, September 11, 2025 at the Zénith de La Villette. They will then head for the Zénith in Nantes on September 12, before a final performance in France, scheduled for September 13 at the Zénith in Toulouse.

If you want to be among the first to reserve your tickets for one of Saxon 's three concerts in France, then don't miss the opening of the ticket office. Gérard Drouot Productions has announced that pre-sales will open on Thursday March 27 at 10am. The general on-sale date is Friday March 28 at 10am.

Saxon are proving that they are still an essential heavy metal band, more than 45 years after their debut. As part of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal (NWOBHM), Saxon has built up a loyal fan base over the years. The band has released some twenty albums since 1979. And some of them are true benchmarks and inspirations, like"Wheels of Steel" and"Strong Arm of the Law", both released in 1980.

In 2024, charismatic singer Biff Byford and his cohorts returned with a fine twenty-fourth opus. Christened"Hell, Fire And Damnation", the record seduced the ears of metalheads in particular thanks to the tracks " Madame Guillotine " and " There's Something In Roswell ".

On September 11, 2025, at their new concert in Paris, the members of Saxon will be honoring not only their most recent songs, but also hits from their earliest days, taking us back in time to the 80s.

To top it all off, Sortilège, the French heavy metal band from Paris, will be opening the show.

So, in the mood for a good dose of heavy metal? Join us at La Villette on September 11, 2025 to experience Saxon 's unique Parisian concert at the Zenith in the flesh!

The British band will also be in France this summer for Heavy Weekend. They will be playing alongside Powerwolf.
