As the image says, Dream Theater – FUCKING DREAM THEATER!! – will be supporting Maiden on their North American sojourn. Hells yes! Now that is a kick-arse pairing.
The tour hits many of their usual areas, although it will be interesting to see the points plotted out on a map to see how they cover the country.
Iron Maiden Fan Club members, of course, get access to a pre-sale for the tickets – so if you’re not a member, get onto it! As far as I’m aware, online members are able to access the pre-sale, but do check to make sure.
FAN CLUB PRE-SALES – NORTH AMERICAN TOUR
CANADA pre-sale starts Wednesday 10th March

Iron Maiden are to release their next studio LP, “Final Frontier”, in ‘late summer’ this year (so, expect it to drop around August).
This will be supported by a 22-date North American tour starting in June:

No, nothing to report yet other than Maiden are set to announce dates for North America (presumably for this year) on March 4th. Keep your eyes on IronMaiden.com for the announcement.

Further from IronMaiden.com, Maiden are also doing the following Sonisphere shows in Europe. Expect further festival announcements (I imagine for Germany, Italy and Spain at least) in the next month or so, if previous years are any indication.
