Iron Maiden Confirm 2017 'The Book Of Souls' UK And Ireland Tour Dates

Iron Maiden will bring their The Book of Souls tour back to the UK and Ireland next spring.
Having headlined Download festival in June, the legendary British metal band will return for arena shows in Nottingham, Dublin, Manchester, Sheffield, Leeds, Newcastle, Glasgow, Aberdeen, Liverpool, Birmingham and Cardiff, winding up at London's O2 Arena on May 27. Support will come from Shinedown.
The dates mark Iron Maiden's first run of UK arena shows in six years, while they continue to rack up the miles behind their 16th album, which was released in September last year. Speaking about the tour, band founder and bassist, Steve Harris said:
"As it’s been so long since our last full UK arena tour, we really wanted to get to our fans in as many cities as possible. The whole band is really enjoying this tour and although we love playing festivals and stadiums, it is terrific to return to the intimacy and atmosphere of arenas. The songs from 'The Book of Souls' album and the new Maya-themed Eddies and stage sets have gone down really well and fan reaction has been amazing. And of course we know our fans appreciate us playing a lot of the older songs too, which we will continue to do."
Tickets are on general sale at 9am on September 30. The band recently announced details of a paperless ticketing system.
