The NWOBHM will meet the NWOAHM in Australia this May.
It appears that Iron Maiden's Legacy Of The Beast tour will eventually engulf the entire world, until all of humanity is attending one continuous Maiden show. The band have just announced a series of dates in Australia, with a New Zealand date to boot.
Providing direct support will be Killswitch Engage, who have a similar work ethic given that they announced a full North American tour only yesterday.

03 Adelaide, AUS – Entertainment Centre
05 Brisbane, AUS – Entertainment Centre
07 Sydney, AUS – Qudos Bank Arena
