Saxon & Dirkschneider – The energy and power of a true heavy metal show united in London

Author Peterson Marti - 18.11.2025

We were immersed in a night of pure heavy metal legacy as Saxon headlined London’s Eventim Apollo, following a special performance by Udo Dirkschneider. This was a powerful double celebration: honouring the 40th anniversary of the iconic “Balls to the Wall” album and proving the undying energy of these metal titans. Scroll through the photogallery to see Biff Byford (defying all expectations with his relentless power), Brian Tatler (the newest riff-master), and the explosive stage antics of bassist Nibbs Carter. With Udo taking the stage in his signature camo, the night was a testament to raw, unfiltered die-hard metal – no frills, just fire.
