Iron Maiden have announced their return to North America, revealing that they will play 23 arena/amphitheatre shows in autumn 2022 as part of their hugely successful The Legacy Of The Beast tour.
The dates will kick off in El Paso, Texas on September 11, and run through to October 27, climaxing at the Amalie Arena in Tampa, Florida. The trek will see Maiden debut songs from this year’s Senjutsu album alongside a host of deathless metal anthems.
Manager Rod Smallwood says: “Next summer we will finally get to play the huge European stadium and festival tour for Legacy of the Beast originally set for 2020. The new show will be even more spectacular so after our visit to Rock in Rio early September 2022 we have decided to take it back to our fans in North America and Mexico too, playing in cities or venues we did not get to last time we toured in 2019. We are also adding some of the great cities of eastern Europe we were not initially visiting!
"We’ll be making a couple of additions and changes to the production and setlist to include some songs from our new album Senjutsu and are making the 2022 version of Legacy of the Beast even more spectacular than the acclaimed original show. You can be sure that we will still be featuring all the “hits” and the key elements of the original tour like the Spitfire, Icarus, Hell, flamethrowers and pyro and the rest - but we will shake it up a bit and Trooper Eddie will have serious competition in the new Senjutsu ‘world’ we are adding..”
Frontman Bruce Dickinson adds, “I’m really excited about the new additions to the stage production and we can’t wait for everyone to see what we’ve got planned. The whole band has really enjoyed the Legacy tour and now we just can’t wait get back out on the road to play live, have fun and see everyone again.”
