Iron Maiden will be jetting their way to New Zealand next May as part of The Book Of Souls World Tour. The epic tour will see vocalist Bruce Dickinson captain and pilot a Boeing 747-400 jumbo jet that is brandished with Iron Maiden iconography, and will take the band around the globe to visit an expected 35 countries.

No firm dates for New Zealand have been revealed yet, but it appears the long-standing English heavy metal outfit will be hitting these shores in May after a jaunt through Japan and China. The tour has been lined up to support the release of their new studio album The Book Of Souls, which is the band's first album in five years and set for worldwide release on 4th September.
