IRON MAIDEN To Play Prague Next August

December 10, 2007

IRON MAIDEN will perform at the Slavia Football Stadium in Prague on Friday, August 8 as part of their Somewhere Back In Time World Tour 2008.

Commented bassist Steve Harris: "We've got a lot of friends in Prague as we visit there as often as we can although this time it's going to be a little different as we're in a much bigger venue than usual at the football stadium so the atmosphere will be all that more special I think. I remember the last time we were there at the T Mobile Arena and it was the opening show of the Eddie Rips Up Europe tour in 2005 and the reception from the fans was just incredible. Nearly lifted the roof off the place! It's always electric thanks to the energy of the fans and we're really looking forward to playing there again."

Tickets go on sale to the public on Monday, December 17.

As previously reported, IRON MAIDEN has been confirmed as the main headliner at Italy's Gods of Metal festival on Friday, June 27 as part of the band's "Somewhere Back In Time World Tour 2008".

The three-day festival (June 27-29) will take place at the Arena Parco Nord in Bologna, with tickets going on sale on Thursday, November 29 at noon.

This will be the third time the band has headlined the festival, helping it grow to be Italy's premier metal event. It wil also be the group's only Italian performance in 2008.

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".
