IRON MAIDEN To Play Bergen In August

December 15, 2009

British metal legends IRON MAIDEN are coming back to Norway for a show on August 11, 2010. The concert will be held at Bergenhus Festning-Koengen in Bergen, a medieval fortress right in the city centre, which will make a magnificent setting for IRON MAIDEN and their fans. Tickets go on sale Friday, December 18 at 09.00 via Billettservice.

Says vocalist Bruce Dickinson: "We wanted to play a few shows next summer so, of course, had to come back to Norway, especially to play in such an incredible setting as this medieval fortress! We played two shows in Norway on the last tour and the fans were unbelievable. It will have been two years since our last visit to this most beautiful of countries so we will make sure our fans get a night to remember!"

These two stops in Norway, Lerkendal in Trondheim and Oslo's Valle Hovin drew a record-breaking crowd of 50,000 fans, placing IRON MAIDEN among the biggest concert draws in Norwegian history alongside such great live performers as BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN and THE ROLLING STONES. The concerts were met with ecstatic reviews from Norwegian media, receiving top score in major newspapers VG, Aftenposten and Dagbladet. This was part of their most ambitious tour yet, dubbed "Somewhere Back in Time Tour", which saw vocalist and airline captain Bruce Dickinson piloting the band and crew around the globe in their own specially fitted Boeing 757, named Ed Force One after their mascot and fan favourite, Eddie, and playing to over two million passionate fans along the way.
