Maiden Starts Rehearsing for Upcoming Tour

Posted by The Saint on May 2, 2005 @ 07:17

Iron Maiden have met last week to decide upon the new setlist for the 'Eddie Rips Up The World Tour', unconfirmed reports say.

They should all be at Steve Harris studio in the UK this week to start rehearsing.

Update: The latest news on the McBrainDamage official webpage confirms this news: Nicko is currently off on tour with Iron Maiden.

Update 2: According to Bruce, they are rehearsing this week. He mentioned the fact on his Rock Show (7th May), around 24 minutes into the show.

Thanks to GhostofCain for the second update

I wish I could put this in news, but even if many people told me that some Maiden official as confirmed this, I can't find any trace of it.

I'll leave it here for now.

Cheers

The problem is that his post was on a thread on IMBB which has been removed to an administrators -only area

I've heard a contact telling me it's happening, plus the MCB news seem to confirm that the pre-tour period has started.

So, here it is: moved to main news
