Just days after Rush announced a huge reunion tour and on the same day as Foo Fighters announced a stadium tour, Iron Maiden says hold my beer.
The heavy metal living legends have announced a 50th anniversary tour with concerts at both stadiums and amphitheaters across the country.
Megadeth will open for them at some shows with Anthrax being added at others. Tickets go on sale on Friday October 31.
“The scale and incredible visual aspects of this tour deserve larger venues than the arenas we have generally played in the past,” said tour manager, Rod Smallwood. We particularly chose this time of year to go bigger outdoors but to give us darkness when we go on stage so you will see the best of the production. Fans certainly won’t be disappointed in the show or the 50th anniversary set list that is for sure.”
