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 a "best-of" 1980-1989 album aptly entitled "Somewhere Back in Time" and featuring 14 classic tracks from this period.
