Ooh, looks like they are doing one of the flight routes to Oz! : p
Well, all I can take from these rumours is that now they're with Phantom, they do seem to be more flexible and last-minutey than they were with Sanctuary (agree?), which is positive!!

11/01/2007Maiden to play Greece in March

Iron Maiden have confirmed that they will be playing a headline show in Athens on Sunday March 11th 2007 as part of a short run of dates in mid March which include Dubai Desert Rock Festival and two more shows soon to be announced on ironmaiden.com.

The venue is the 10,000 capacity Faliro Pavilion Indoor Arena in Athens and tickets for the show will be going on sale on Tuesday 16th January.

Says Bruce Dickinson 'Greece has always given us such great support and we understand that 'A MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH' was the number one album for 4 weeks and we will of course be playing some songs from that album . We were sadly unable to arrange a date in the first part of the tour so we are all very pleased to be now able to play in Athens and we expect to bring with us the full staging we have been using so far on this tour . The Greek audiences are amongst the craziest anywhere and we look forward very much to playing the show. And so of course does Eddie'

Apparently management is being really tight with the information on forthcoming activities...

No one seems to know until you need to know...

[azzura]

Oh I see, so it just seems like they're spontaneous.

[tazz1973]

No, just secretive...

they could sell out acer in sydney which can hold upto 21000 - but normally around 15000,but,cost of getting to greece to play to 10000 and cost of getting to sydney to play to 15000 = more profit at greece - it says only 2 more shows are being announced - my bets are India and China - we will miss out.



Again.

The tshirt eating thing still stands if Im wrong though

15/01/2007Maiden confirm Belgrade gig

Iron Maiden have confirmed that further to last weeks announcement of an additional show in Athens they will be playing a headline show in Belgrade on Wednesday March 14th 2007 as part of a short run of dates in mid March.

The venue is the 18,000 capacity Belgrade Fair Indoor Arena and tickets for the show will be going on sale on Wednesday 24th January.

Says Steve Harris 'I'm pretty sure in saying that this will be the first time we've been to Belgrade for just over 20 years back on the Somewhere in Time tour so I'm sure many of our fans in Serbia will be very excited at the news that we're making this visit that some would say is long overdue! As we said a couple of years ago we would try and visit new places and cities where we haven't played for a long time when the opportunity to do so came up and this is just such an occasion. And we are very much looking forward to it'
