British metal legends Saxon were robbed earlier today at the U Rock festival at Campus Arena in Umeå, Sweden. The band’s management have issued the following:

“If you are the person who broke into the Saxon dressing room at U Rock Festival in Umea, Sweden tonight - please return phones, passports, wallets - NO QUESTIONS ASKED. Or if you know this person please turn in. The band needs these things for travel home.

“It was a great show tonight - we know this does not represent our fans there. Thank you.” - Saxon Management

An update states: “As an update - the band has been able to travel but some of the crew have not. No luck in tracking the phones but we are checking regularly and the police are involved. We also have a witness, so hopefully this person is caught - especially before he strikes again!

“We would like to say thank you for all the support and sharing the information - Saxon truly has the best fans in the world!!”

UFO and Saxon are headed back to the US. Due to demand following their hugely successful tour together in March and April, UFO and Saxon have announced more dates in the US, plus two in Canada, in September and October.
