Iron Maiden has extended its Book of Souls World Tour into this summer, and has added a June 21 Houston date. The legendary heavy metal band will play Toyota Center on June 21.

The band promises a Mayan-themed set and numerous appearances by skeletal mascot Eddie. Maiden is touring behind "Book of Souls," a double album released last year.

No word yet on what follows the tour, which ends in late July. But next year marks the 40th anniversary of the collaboration between bassist Steve Harris, guitarist Dave Murray and singer Paul Di'Anno, who started recording and scored a record deal. Di'Anno didn't last long, and was replaced by Bruce Dickinson in 1981.

Tickets for the show go on sale at 10 a.m. Jan. 29 at 866-446-8849 or the Toyota Center's site. There will also be a pre-sale for fan club members, info here.
