IRON MAIDEN: 'Dance Of Death' Live Album/DVD Due This Fall

March 14, 2005

The U.K.'s Metal Hammer magazine is reporting that IRON MAIDEN will headline the last night of the Reading the Leeds festivals in August, their only U.K. shows on their current European tour.

This will be the first time that MAIDEN will have headlined Reading since 1982 and their stage set and choice of material may be familiar to fans who were there the first time around. To celebrate their 25th anniversary, the band will only be playing material from their first four albums on these dates. The stage set — currently being constructed — will also reflect the early years of MAIDEN's live shows.

"This will be back to the full on metal spectacular," said Bruce Dickinson. "We've always put everything, physically and mentally, into our stage shows and this will be no exception. People are back and into REAL live music now and we want to make sure that the MAIDEN shows are never surpassed and an incredable experience for everyone there!"

There will also be a "Dance of Death" live album and DVD released in the early autumn, which will actually be the last in the series of DVDs chronicling MAIDEN of which "The History of Iron Maiden - Part 1: The Early Days" was the first part. Subsequent releases will fill in the rest of the gaps.
