IRON MAIDEN Warns Against Web Sites Posting 'Unofficial' Tour Dates From Wikipedia

March 6, 2008

IRON MAIDEN's official web site has been updated with the following message:

"Useful as it is, anyone who's ever submitted school work based on what they found on Wikipedia surely knows that it's not always entirely factual.

"In the case of IRON MAIDEN unannounced tour dates, it's very much a work of fiction!

"Remember folks, dates aren't official until they are announced right here on IronMaiden.com. You don't have long to wait — the second leg dates for North America will be published soon. But in the meantime, please don't pay attention to tour info on Wikipedia or any sites that have copied the same rumours 'cos I can tell you all that they're not correct and we'd hate for anyone to make concrete plans based on bad information."
