IRON MAIDEN founder and bassist Steve Harris comments: "I've been keeping an eye on VOODOO SIX for a while now and they've produced a cracking new album with real promise. It's great to support true British up and coming talent such as theirs and it'll be a pleasure to have them out with us on tour."

VOODOO SIX vocalist Luke Purdie adds: “This is a huge deal for us and an amazing opportunity to support arguably the most iconic band in metal history.

"We came up with the album title 'Songs To Invade Countries To' ages ago since we've been wanting to get our music across to European shores for a long time — but it's been made a reality now that we've been chosen to support IRON MAIDEN on these dates. It's going to be a very exciting year!"
