Iron Maiden announce 2011 UK tour

By | Published on Friday 12 November 2010

Iron Maiden have announced details of their 2011 UK tour dates, tickets for which will go on general sale on 20 Nov. The dates themselves aren’t until July and August.

Bassist Steve Harris said: “Everything in the Maiden camp has been so full-on these last five years or so that we haven’t travelled around the UK to play for our home fans for almost that long. These fans supported us by coming to Twickenham Stadium, Reading and Leeds Festivals, Download and more recently Sonisphere so we thought we should get off our backsides and do the travelling this time and get round the country to see them all. And playing the O2 gets us as close to the east end of London where Maiden started off than we have been for many a year, probably since the Ruskin Arms!”

20 Jul: Glasgow, SECC
21 Jul: Aberdeen, AECC
23 Jul: Newcastle Arena
