Heavy Metal legends Iron Maiden continue their hugely successful The Book of Souls World Tour into 2017 with a series of European arena shows opening in Antwerp, Belgium on April 22, Maiden’s first visit to this city since 1981 on the Killers Tour! The band then travel to Germany for shows in Oberhausen, Frankfurt and Hamburg before heading into the UK and Ireland for an extensive series of concerts in May. There will be 8 dates across England in Nottingham, Manchester, Sheffield, Leeds, Newcastle, Liverpool, Birmingham and London, two in Scotland in Glasgow and Aberdeen and one in Cardiff, Wales. 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”.

"Everybody in Devilment is very excited about the prospect of releasing our latest album, which we have worked extremely hard on (te-he! He said 'hard-on')... The album is definitely a step-up from our debut, featuring a more mature, dissonant presence coupled with a darker edge, yet at the same time utilising our better musical assets to deliver a unique metal hybrid. I don't even know what to classify it! And of course, it's going to be awesome touring this in our home nation just before Xmas. We literally can't wait; the shows are going to be insane!"
