Maiden to Play in Helsinki Olympic Stadium ?

Posted by MS? on July 9, 2005 @ 13:41

Bruce Dickinson said in Helsinki that Maiden needs to play in bigger place, so that everybody can fit in.

Next place after the Hartwall Areena is Helsinki Olympic Stadium.

Helsinki Olympic Stadiun capacity is 45 000 (for concerts): http://www.stadion.fi/index.php?lang=en

But tonight in Gothenburg he said next tour will be in winter (late 2006 to support the new album) and they won't be able to play outdoor venue in Sweden 'cause it'll be to cold. So they will probably do a few outdoor shows (maybe 2 x Globen and 2 x Scandinavium?). I doubt they would do gig at Olympic Stadium in winter. Do you have any bigger (than Hartwall Areena) indoor venues in Finland?

Hartwall Areena is biggest indoor arena in Finland. Capacity in icehockey games is something like 13 665. Then comes Turkuhalli (Elyseé Areena) in Turku, which is a little bit smaller (capacity is 11 820). Then there is some smaller arenas (capacity ~8000-6000).
