Iron Maiden Announce Summer 2012 Tour Dates

Heavy metal group, Iron Maiden just announced tour dates for their “Maiden England” tour 2012. This tour will be an homage to 1988’s “Seventh Son of a Seventh Son tour.”

Looking to impress new fans, and provide some nostalgia for long time followers, Iron Maiden have decided to recreate their “Seventh Son” tour this year. Lead singer Bruce Dickinson explains,

We have great fun playing the history of MAIDEN tours because it gives us an opportunity between new albums to go out and play songs from our earlier catalogue. It’s always fantastic seeing the crowd reaction from a new generation of fans who have never experienced some of these tracks performed live before, and of course we know our longstanding fans will enjoy seeing the original ‘Seventh Son Tour’ revisited — with many other surprises!
