Here’s what all of us ‘Murican Maiden fans have been waiting for: new tour dates!!! The only time I’ve ever been disappointed seeing these dudes live was on the A Matter of Life and Death tour, when Vince and I walked in somehow unaware that they were going to play that (extremely boring) album in its entirety. Hopefully that’s not the case here, because usually, Maiden live is an unbeatable experience.

Dates are below; Canadian dates will be announced soon. Support comes from The Raven Age, which features Steve Harris’ son, George, on guitar. I could make a nepotism crack but instead I’ll just point out that the poor kid is two letters away from having the same name as one of the greatest musicians of all time and leave it at that.
