No Secret Warm-Up Gig ?
It seems that Iron Maiden won't do a secret warm-up gig before the new tour, various sources tell.Iron Maiden are currently in rehearsal in a secret location in West London. The last days of the rehearsal will see a bigger set (maybe the full one) before Maiden hits their first date.
Iron Maiden used to do these kind of secret gigs in the past but haven't done so in a long time, so no surprise here. Secret gigs happened before the following tours: 1981, 1985, 1988, 1990, 1992, 1995 and 1998.

They did some in 1981 (as Genghis Khan) and in 1988 (Charlotte and the harlots).
In 88 they were as Charlotte the Harlots in the Live Music Hall.
I thought that they did a secret rehearsal gig in 95 somewgere in Jerusalem.

Well, it was not Maiden for this gig.
It was the Adrian Smith's bans : The Whole Population Of Hackney (and Bruce & Steve appeared only in few songs in the end of the gig)
Cool, I didn't know 
They made their final rehearsal with full set and props in Nottingham:
