Lead singer Bruce Dickinson emphasizes: "Next year is a very special year for IRON MAIDEN and we will offer our fans a unique live experience. This is a tour that will put a smile on your face and a cheer in your throat. If you've seen us before, get ready to take this experience to a whole new level. If you've never seen us before: What the hell are you waiting for? This is your chance to find out what you've been missing! IRON MAIDEN will definitely get you!"
Manager Rod Smallwood adds: "50 years of Maiden and I've been with them for 46 of them! With well over 100 million albums sold and nearly 2500 shows in 64 countries (and counting) and countless millions of fans, we still love every second and see every tour as a new challenge to bring something new and exciting to our fans. And for this very special tour, we're pulling out all the stops!
We'll be playing classics and fan favorites from the first nine albums, from 'IRON MAIDEN' to 'FEAR OF THE DARK', many of which we haven't played in years and many of which we'll probably never play again in the future. We've been working hard for months to put together an even more spectacular and elaborate new show that will bring the songs to life more than we've ever been able to before. It's going to be a massive few years for IRON MAIDEN, and of course for Eddie, and we're very excited about what we have in store for you fans throughout our 50th year. I promise you will all be very happy!"
