It looks like predictions that hard rock news
site Blabbermouth made last week are indeed coming true. Iron Maiden will
team up with Dio and Motorhead this summer for a North American tour and
the first tickets for the outing will go on sale this Friday (April 18).
So far only three dates have been unofficially
announced. The bands have remained quiet on the tour but Ticketmaster has
listings for shows at two west coast venues.
According to Blabbermouth, tickets for
the Garden concert on July 30th will go on sale at 9:00 am on Friday. (at
presstime, there was no listing for this show at Ticketmaster.com) Ticketmaster.com
reports that Internet presale for the two California dates will begin at
10:00 am next Monday (April 21st)
Blabbermouth had this to report on the
tour, IRON MAIDEN, DIO, and MOTÖRHEAD will be teaming up for a two-month
North American tour during July-September. Although the complete lineup
has yet to be announced, it is understood that MINISTRY and ANTHRAX are
among the acts currently under consideration for the opening/support slots
on the bill.
Update 4-19
A couple more dates have been announced
for the tour. All known dates are listed below and well keep posted as
more details surface but Iron Maiden frontman took to the web to let fans
in on their spring and summer tour plans. This tour is all about having
fun as the name suggests, Bruce Dickinson writes on the official Iron
Maiden site We love summer and we love playing big shows. We are going
to be playing a lot of our favourite Maiden songs and many people
know we've got a new album in the pipeline for later this year so perhaps
we'll be playing a new song or two, but basically it will be full on Maiden!
Trouble is when you have so many great
songs its hard to please everyone all of the
time. The band is firing on all cylinders
and the show will be as spectacular as always.
