“Saxon Announce Classic Lineup Reunion for One Night Only – Paul Quinn Returns to the Stage”
In a jaw-dropping announcement that has taken the heavy metal world by storm, Saxon have officially announced a one-off reunion of their classic lineup, featuring the long-awaited return of founding guitarist Paul Quinn. The legendary British metal band revealed plans for a special anniversary concert titled “One Night of Steel: Saxon Reforged”, scheduled for December 2025 in London.
The event will commemorate the 45th anniversary of their breakthrough album Wheels of Steel, and will see original members including Biff Byford, Paul Quinn, and Nigel Glockler reunited on stage for the first time in decades. Quinn, who retired from touring in 2023, will return to deliver one last epic performance with the band he helped build from the ground up.
“This is about honoring our legacy and giving fans something unforgettable,” said Byford during the announcement. “We’ve all felt the pull to do this one more time. And if we’re going to do it, it has to be done the right way—with Paul back where he belongs.”
The band promises a full performance of Wheels of Steel, along with rare deep cuts and a few surprise appearances from icons of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal era. Saxon also revealed that the show will be recorded for a live album and concert film release, ensuring the night is preserved in metal history.
Tickets for “One Night of Steel: Saxon Reforged” will go on sale later this month, with pre-sale access available through the band’s official channels. Fans are already calling it the most anticipated metal event of the decade—a legendary night when Saxon’s past and present collide in one final, glorious roar.
