Maiden founder member and bass player Steve Harris says, “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.” The dates are: Apr 22 Belgium Antwerp, Sportpaleis Apr 24 Germany Oberhausen, König-Pilsener-Arena Apr 28 Germany Frankfurt, Festhalle May 02 Germany Hamburg, Barclaycard Arena May 04 England Nottingham, Motorpoint Arena May 06 Ireland Dublin, 3arena May 08 England Manchester, Arena May 10 England Sheffield, Arena May 11 England Leeds, First Direct Arena May 14 England Newcastle, Metro Radio Arena May 16 Scotland Glasgow SSE Hydro Arena May 17 Scotland Aberdeen, AECC GE Oil & Gas Arena May 20 England Liverpool, Echo Arena May 21 England Birmingham, Barclaycard Arena May 24 Wales Cardiff, Motorpoint Arena May 27 England London, O2 Arena No further European cities will be added to this schedule for 2017 There will be an exclusive pre-sale for Iron Maiden Fan Club members, details of which can be found on www.ironmaiden.com along with information on how Fan Club members can participate in the draw to be “First To The Barrier”.

To celebrate her 30th anniversary of performing live, Doro spent 2013/2014 by touring the world extensively, a journey which included three official anniversary shows. The tour kicked off impressively in front of 85,000 people at the world's biggest metal festival, Wacken, followed by two sold-out nights in her home town of Düsseldorf, where she also started her outstanding career. And everyone came to party with Doro: Phil Campbell (Motörhead), Biff Byford (Saxon), Chris Caffery (Savatage), Blaze Bayley (ex-Iron Maiden), Joakim Brodén (Sabaton), Hansi Kürsch (Blind Guardian), Udo Dirkschneider, Uli Jon Roth, Lordi as well as many more amazing guests. "We spent endless hours, days, and nights working on the DVD," said Doro, "because we wanted to present a real highlight for all rock and metal fans for the 30th anniversary. We took care of every detail. It began already with the fantastic stage at Wacken. We worked one year on its design. In Düsseldorf, we even celebrated two nights in a row. One 'classic night' with a 40-piece orchestra and one 'balls-to-the-wall' rock show on the second evening. It continued subsequently non stop - with an anniversary tour which led us to Russia, South America, and my second home, the US, among other places." Strong And Proud - 30 Years Of Rock And Metal contains 38 songs in total, including all Doro classics, many old Warlock hits and cover versions of songs such as "Fear Of The Dark" (Iron Maiden) and "Balls To The Wall" (Accept). Additionally, Strong And Proud - 30 Years Of Rock And Metal offers a unique two+-hour documentary, Behind The Curtain, Inside The Heart Of Doro. It gives the spectator deep and detailed insights into the world of Doro. "There's great footage from all over the world and never before seen pictures from our life behind the stage. The camera team accompanied us for over one year everywhere and captured very emotional, intimate, and human situations." http://www.facebook.com/DOROOFFICIAL http://www.twitter.com/DOROOFFICIAL http://www.YouTube.com/DOROOFFICIAL Avenged Sevenfold announced a major UK tour earlier this week for January 2017 which includes their first ever show at London’s 02 Arena.
