Need some more Iron Maiden in your life and looking for one of the most awesome metal shows you could go to this summer? Well my friend, you are ever so much in luck as Iron Maiden has just recently announced the dates for the North American tour they will be embarking on this summer to continue promotion for their most recent release The Book of Souls. The dates and venues are listed below.
The tour will be kicking off June 3 in Virginia and going all the way until July 21st in New York with numerous stops in between. Opening band will be Ghost (which I've heard good things about). Tickets go on sale this coming Friday (the 27th), though the Fan Club pre-sale tickets are available now.
This is definitely a show worth seeing. From what I've heard it's one of their biggest shows yet. I saw them about five years ago in Chicago when they were promoting Maiden England. I was in the pit with my buddy and it was AWESOME. Elaborate stage set ups, tons of costumes for Bruce Dickinson, and a gigantic Eddie stomping around at certain points. I imagine by this point everything has only gotten better.

I am dying to see these guys. The only problem is that the closest they are coming to Cincinnati, OH, where I live, is Nashville, TN. And not only that, but you can get presale tix if you are a member of their fan club. I would do that in a heartbeat, but they keep sending you stuff and I don't want my parents (mostly my mom; my stepdad doesn't really care) thinking I am wasting my money on something she considers to be stupid. "It's just a band. They're no different than you or me", she usually says. But I would take my sister in a hearbeat; she loves their music and has a little crush on Bruce Dickinson and Dave Murray, lol!!
