Metal legends Iron Maiden will “up the irons” some more in 2017 as they sojourn further on their Book Of Souls World Tour. All shows will be supported by American southern rockers Shinedown.
The tour is booked for 16 dates, including a tour of the UK. Tickets go on sale on September 30th. The band continue to tour behind 2015’s acclaimed Book Of Souls (Parlaphone) album.
Maiden founder Steve Harris commented:
“As it’s been so long since our last full UK arena tour, we really wanted to get to our fans in as many cities as possible. We’re really looking forward to it, especially visiting places we haven’t been to for a very long time like Leeds where we haven’t played since 2005 and Liverpool where we haven’t played since 1990. The whole band is really enjoying this tour and although we love playing festivals and stadiums, it is terrific to return to the intimacy and atmosphere of arenas. The songs from The Book Of Souls album and the new Maya-themed Eddies and stage sets have gone down really well and fan reaction has been amazing. And of course we know our fans appreciate us playing a lot of the older songs too, which we will continue to do.”
Shinedown’s Zach Myers comments,
“Iron Maiden are the kings of metal and one of the greatest live bands of all time. It’s an honour to be touring with them in Europe and in their home country and to play in front of their fans. We can’t wait to see you in 2017!!!”
