Saxon & Uriah Heep: Hell, Fire & Chaos Tour

Now in their fourth decade of making music, continuing the tradition that they helped create, Saxon are still a tour de force in heavy metal music. The Band is comprised of members Peter “Biff” Byford (vocals), Paul Quinn & Doug Scarratt (guitars), Nibbs Carter (bass) & Nigel Glockler (drums). Saxon were the leaders of the new wave of British heavy metal with hits that include "Wheels of Steel’, "State of Grace", " Princess of the Night", "Denim and Leather", and so, so many more!  Along with Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath and Deep Purple, Uriah Heep helped invent a decorative and uniquely British form of heavy metal with their debut album, Very ‘Eavy, Very ‘Umble. Uriah Heep is responsible for the most elevated and intelligent use of vocals in a heavy metal context amongst the major bands inventing the genre in the 1970s. The "Beach Boys of Heavy Metal" have had timeless classics like “Sunrise,” “Sweet Lorraine,” “Circle of Hands, “July Morning” “Easy Livin’” and “Love Machine!"

Sebastian Bach

With an inimitable presence as loud as his instantly identifiable voice, SEBASTIAN BACH has left a San Andreas Fault-size imprint on music, theater, film, television, and culture. Moreover, his influence only continues to magnify. He has penned and voiced some of the most iconic anthems in rock history, crafting a catalog highlighted by generational hits such as “18 and Life,” “I Remember You,” “Youth Gone Wild,” “Slave To The Grind,” “Wasted Time,” and “Monkey Business,” to name a few. He has made history as “the first heavy metal singer on Broadway” with a now legendary turn in Jekyll & Hyde: The Musical in addition to leading roles in The Rocky Horror Picture Show and Jesus Christ Superstar. He has appeared in dozens of television series and films, ranging from “Trailer Park Boys” and “Robot Chicken” to “Spongebob Squarepants,” “The Masked Singer,” and “Hell’s Kitchen.” Speaking to his versatility, he’s the rare force of nature who can duet with Axl Rose and reprise a seven-season recurring role on “Gilmore Girls.” Most recently, SEBASTIAN released a powerful new single, “What Do I Got To Lose?” on December 7. The new track comes on the hells of BACH’s show-stopping appearances as “Tiki” on Fox’s “The Masked Singer,” which earned him a spot as a Group B Finalist in December 2023.
