Hmm, what a pile of poo. Only one date (better one than none, I should say) and in a festival that never before had more than 10000 people attending. I wonder how will they organize it... Well, I think that I'll go to Bospop instead.

The source article states it will be. However, I can't confirm the accuracy of the info giving there. We'll have to wait and see.

That's what the promoters told to all the Spanish metal websites. Anyway, do you have another source? I would love to stand corrected and then have more dates in Spain...

Emi Spain seemed to think differently.

This time I said I didn't have any

Back a few years, it was easier to get intel. Now, with the internet, people are keeping the info for themselves. Especially insiders for major music companies, for they're afraid of legal actions.

Strange how IronMaiden.com **removed** any reference to the Lorca Music Festival on their main page today...

The date can still be found if you browse inside the website, but if someone takes the time to remove the date from both the headline and the tourdates, it could mean something....

Apparently it has been confirmed that the Lorca show has obtained the ONLY Spanish date.

I guess someone made a mistake updating the website at the official Maiden website.

I've heard about that confirmation, but why this mistake ? I mean, removing specifically the spanish reference ?

Hope it's not sign for things to change for our spanish friends.
