Full European Tour Confirmed

Posted by Real World from IronMaiden.com on March 6, 2006 @ 19:46

The new live show will include new album material which the band are now recording and which will be released prior to the tour. They are currently considering album artwork and the Production for the tour, which of course will be in true Maiden tradition with spectacular stage production and massive sound and lights ... and, of course, Eddie!!

Says Steve Harris, 'We've finished most of the writing of the album and have just started recording with Kevin Shirley so we're all very charged up at the moment to make a great record. Reaction to the tour so far has been brilliant and we're looking forward to putting a great show together for the fans and getting back out on the road towards the end of the year and playing new material live '

Maiden have invited the critically acclaimed American band TRIVIUM to be their Special Guests throughout the tour. Trivium have enjoyed ever increasing recognition these last few months and Maiden are sure that their fans will give them a great reception.

This European leg of the World Tour will be followed in early 2007 with selected dates in other parts of the World.

For the dates in the UK there is an exclusive 5 day special advance ticket ordering access for fan club members. There will be a special link in the Tour date area of the website and advance tickets for fan club go on sale on Friday 10th March at 9am in the UK and 9am Wednesday 22nd March for Dublin.

hey you belgian one advise, if you want to see them in paris, and to be in arena get the tickets the more soon possible......also if you come with friends make sure to buy all the tickets the SAME DAY, if not, most probably you will can not be able to see the show together.....it happened to me last summer (gig at PARK DES PRINCES -45.000 capacity) for only one day difference!!!

a pity they don't come to belgium, would love to see them for my (only) 2nd time, after Graspop last year..

and since they told us there they wouldn't come to graspop this year, and told they would come to belgium for their new studio album I was like.... YES !!

and all of a sudden they DON'T come to Belgium ?! :s

hope they add a "surprise"-date :o

& indeed tickets to Paris cost 60€ (bustrip included, return also) in FNAC
