Iron Maiden Unveils North American Tour Dates

After a successful run in Europe, Iron Maiden is now bringing their “Legacy of the Beast” tour to North America.

The iconic metal band has announced a 33-city tour of the United States and Canada starting July 18 in Sunrise, Fla. and wrapping September 25 in San Antonio, Texas.  

This tour and its production are based on Maiden’s mobile game, which is also called “The Legacy of the Beast,” and features the many incarnations of Eddie traveling through different worlds.  In a statement, Bruce Dickinson said of the live show/mobile game mashup, “We’re immensely proud of this show and we’ve had great reactions from the many fans who came to see us in Europe earlier this year...This inspired us to put together a stage show to take our fans through different Worlds and experiences set to appropriate songs. It is not that easy designing different Worlds on stage and we put a huge amount of work into this to make it work and the end result we feel is our most spectacular and certainly the most complex show to date.”

Tickets go on sale to the general public on Friday, November 16 at 10 AM local time.  Complete ticket details, including information on fan club presales, can be found at IronMaiden.com.
