Rock band Oliver Dawson Saxon will ride into Swindon this week with a set of heavy metal to melt your mind.

One of the pioneers of new wave British heavy metal music in the 1990s, Saxon roared into the charts with such singles as Motorcycle Man, Wheels of Steel, And The Band Played On, Ride Like The Wind and 747.

Next Saturday, the band will play at MECA in Regent Circus from 7pm, with support from Tygers of Pan Tang, themselves a renowned name in the rock world.

Tickets are £12 in advance from 01793 495527.
