Tour rehearsals or something. They often do secret gigs before they do a world tour or a festival. Before Donington '88 they did a gig at Queen Mary's College as Charlotte & The Harlots. They've done loads over the years. There's a list of their secret gig names on the Bring Your Daughter... cover.

I really doubt it's true. The text says they're playing as Charlotte & The Harlots. Maiden have never once used the same secret gig name on different tours.

Secondly, Maiden have never and will never do 9 gigs in 9 days.

I think its more likely that this is a tribute band looking for some publicity

Spot on mate. Other things too - Bruce is busy with his solo stuff, and Nicko is touring with his wifes band until Sep when writing for the new Maiden album starts.

This sort of stuff reminds me of the time when 'The Majesty Of Gaia' was announced
