To launch this premier new metal event, the organizes have announced that they are bringing metal legends IRON MAIDEN and their "Somewhere Back in Time Tour World Tour" to Montreal for the opening day, Saturday, June 21. "Maiden Mania" has been gripping countries around the planet as tickets for the tour fly out of box offices everywhere. In Canada alone the major arena in Toronto sold out three months in advance and recently it took just a couple of days for MAIDEN to sell out all 60,000 tickets for their five shows in Western Canadian arenas! And Heavy Mtl now gives metal fans in Eastern Canada a chance to see this inspirational band and spectacular show outdoors in a wonderful setting.

WARRANT will hit the road this summer with CINDERELLA and LYNCH MOB. They will also appear at the Rocklahoma festival on July 12 at the Catch The Fever Festival Grounds, four miles north of Pryor, Oklahoma.
