After the successful "Vital Signs Tour 2023" with which the band toured Canada and Europe, SAGA will be back on tour in 2024. Founded in 1977 by brothers Jim Crichton (bass, Moog) and Ian Crichton (guitar) together with Michael Sadler (vocals, keyboards, bass), Peter Rochon (keyboards) and drummer Steve Negus. In 1980, Jim Gilmour took over the keyboards, the drummers changed repeatedly over the years, and the band found its current line-up with Mike Thorne (since 2012) and Dusty Chesterfield (bass, Moog synthesizer).
22 studio albums, hit singles such as "On The Loose" (number 26 on the US Billboard charts), "Pitchman", "Tired World", "Wind Him Up" and "Humble Stance" prove their musical talent and legacy. SAGA is a live band, early performances including the Rock Pop TV Live show with 27 million viewers (1981), the first Canadian band to play in Budapest at the Sportcsarnok Arena (1982) and the famous "Rock Am Ring" in 1985, followed by continuous touring throughout the US, Canada and Europe. The band has experienced something of a renaissance in recent years, with their music suddenly being rediscovered by many. Live, SAGA are one of the best bands you can experience. Michael Sadler's statement: "We were always honest with the audience and with ourselves, never compromised, never made music for the sake of the charts."
