Iron Maiden leader Steve Harris will tour Europe in November and December with his band British Lion, he’s confirmed.

They’ll perform material from their self-titled 2012 album along with songs that haven’t yet been recorded, with some shows to appear on a live record in 2017.

Harris says: “On this tour we’ll be making our first visits to Slovakia, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland and Ireland. We’ve got a really strong show lined up, including plenty of songs not on the British Lion album.

“The whole band is really excited and can’t wait to get on the road again. We’ll be looking to record some shows to add to the recordings we already have.”

Tour tickets go on sale today (September 5) at 2pm BST (1pm UT) via www.steveharrisbritishlion.com. Support on most dates comes from Voodoo Six. Iron Maiden just completed their world tour in support of 16th album The Book Of Souls.
