IRON MAIDEN ANNOUNCES ONE FINAL SHOW IN NEW YORK ON EPIC “LEGACY OF THE BEAST” TOUR

To satisfy fan demand, following a sold-out show in Brooklyn on Friday, July 26th, British heavy metal legends Iron Maiden have now confirmed a second night at Barclays Center on Saturday, July 27th on their Legacy Of The Beast tour. Tickets go on sale Friday, March 1st at 10 a.m. local time at LiveNation.com. This latest date completes the final tour routing for Maiden in North America and no further shows will be added. As always, there will be an exclusive pre-sale for Iron Maiden fan-club members.

Maiden vocalist Bruce Dickinson comments: “We’re excited to return to North America and unveil the Legacy Of The Beast tour to all our friends there! We’re immensely proud of this show and we’ve had great reactions from the many fans who came to see us in Europe last year. The production is based on our mobile game The Legacy Of The Beast, which basically takes various incarnations of Eddie into many different Maiden worlds. This inspired us to put together a stage show to take our fans through unique worlds and experiences set to appropriate songs. It is not that easy designing different worlds on stage and we put a huge amount of time into this to make it work and the end result we feel is our most spectacular and certainly the most complex show to date. We’ve got all kinds of crazy things going on, including a replica Spitfire plane dominating the stage during Aces High, tons of pyro, a giant Icarus, muskets, claymores and some truly marvellous flame-throwers which I have a hell of a lot of fun with, as you will see! And, of course, we have Eddie, as you’ve never seen him before, and absolutely loads of other surprises. I’ve had the time of my life playing with all these magnificent props on stage, it’s been fantastic, we can’t wait to bring this show to you.”

Steve Harris, bassist and founding member, adds, “We gave a lot of thought to the set list for this tour as the songs needed to follow the narrative of the changing worlds of the stage show. We feel we ended up with a very strong and well-balanced set mixing songs we haven’t played in many years like Flight Of Icarus, Sign Of The Cross and The Clansman, with songs we know the fans want to hear like The Trooper, 2 Minutes To Midnight, The Number Of The Beast, Fear Of The Dark, Run To The Hills’ Hallowed Be Thy Name and others, reflecting the journey through the different themes of the show. The whole band is really enjoying this tour and we are really looking forward to seeing everybody in North America again.”
