IRON MAIDEN Announces Switzerland Date
December 24, 2007British heavy metal legends IRON MAIDEN will perform at the St Jakobshalle in Basel, Switzerland on Thursday, August 14 as part of their Somewhere Back In Time World Tour 2008.
Commented bassist Steve Harris: "We've always been regular visitors to Switzerland on just about every tour since our first journeys abroad in the early eighties so we have a lot of friends there and it will be great to see them again on this spectacular tour. Although this time is a little different as we're going to being playing up in Basel in the north which we haven't visited a long time."
Tickets go on sale to the public Monday, December 28 at 10 a.m. (GMT) but members of the IRON MAIDEN fan club will get special and exclusive first access to purchase tickets from Wednesday, December 26.
On February 5, 2008 MAIDEN will release the highly anticipated DVD of "Live after Death" and to tie in with this will play songs mainly from their classic '80s albums on this forthcoming tour. The stage production will also feature a production-based on the Egyptian-themed "Powerslave Tour" which was featured on the original 1985 video release of "Live after Death".
A preview of the "Live After Death" DVD, the legendary recording of IRON MAIDEN's four-night stand at Long Beach Arena, California in 1984, is available below.
