UFO To Tour North America In Late 2017 With Support From SAXON
May 10th, 2017

British classic rock group UFO perform in the United States from late September to mid-October 2017. Supporting are Yorkshire, England-based metal ensemble Saxon and Los Angeles, California-based blues / rock musician Jared James Nichols.

UFO vocalist Phil Mogg issued the following statement: “Seldom do you get the chance to have a tour with such great bands and great personalities. We have been offered such a chance and will be grabbing it with both hands.

“We are looking forward very much to our autumn tour with the lads from Saxon, Biff (Byford, vocals), Paul (Quinn, guitars), Doug (Scarratt, guitars), Nigel (Glockler, drums) and Nibbs (Carter, bass), Jared James (Nichols), Erik (Sandin, bass) and Dennis (Holm, drums), just so you know everyone. I hope you enjoy these gigs as much as we will, rocking/kicking, your proverbial arse/bottom. Love, UFO.”

Saxon frontman Biff Byford shared the following words, meanwhile: “It’s great to be coming back with UFO. We had such a great time on the last tour. It’s a great package with three great bands. What’s not to like? BRING IT ON!”
