IRON MAIDEN: All Five Western Canada Dates Sold Out

April 7, 2008

IRON MAIDEN's official web site has been updated with the following message:

"The IRON MAIDEN shows in Western Canada have now sold every available ticket in each market in just four days. The band encourages any non-ticket holders to check back in a couple weeks and just before the show as production releases may become available when the stage has been set in each arena, check with your local box office or www.ironmaiden.com for further updates. Even if some tickets may have to be stamped with a slightly restricted side view, fans will still be able to experience the incredible communal atmosphere of a MAIDEN concert."

Commented vocalist Bruce Dickinson: "We are truly overwhelmed by this response, especially as some of these cities we haven't played in 20 years!! Being Brits we are always very comfortable with Canadians and it will be a great pleasure to get back on the prairies again. It was always a LOUD response there! We look forward to this immensely and hope to give you all a show to remember."

MAIDEN's North America leg of the global "Somewhere Back in Time World Tour 08" starts in Texas on May 21 and ends on June 21 somewhere in Canada. The band already circled the planet in its customized Boeing 757 flown by vocalist Bruce Dickinson taking them to 23 sold out shows in 10 countries in 45 days and a distance of almost 50,000 miles, making it an average of a major show every alternate day with each one an average of about 2,000 miles apart. Following the North America leg, the band will undertake an extensive tour of stadiums and major festivals around Europe, by the end of which they will have played to some one and a half million fans.

On May 13, EMI will release the "Best of .....1980 - 1989" album, aptly entitled "Somewhere Back in Time" and featuring 14 classic tracks from this period.
