Iron Maiden 2008 tour dates
Rock group Iron Maiden have announced details of a world tour for 2008. They kick off at Bandra Kurla Complex in Mumbai in India on February 1, and includes a date at London's Twickenham Stadium on July 5.
The 'Somewhere Back In Time- World Tour 08' will focus almost entirely on the 80s in terms of song choices. The stage set will also be based around the Egyptian-themed 'Powerslave' 1984-85 tour.
Speaking about the tour, frontman Bruce Dickinson explained: "Looking at the list of places we would like to play we have always had problems joining up the dots. But without having sea containers all over the place slowing down the whole touring process and by having our own plane it has made it far easier to tour distant places like Australia for the first time in 15 years."
