Iron Maiden have announced their new touring drummer
Following Nicko McBrain’s retirement from touring, Iron Maiden have revealed that “a name familiar to many of our fans” will be stepping in next year.
Here's what Iron Maiden played on the first night the Legacy Of The Beast U.S. tour
Last night (July 18), Iron Maiden brought their epic Legacy Of The Beast tour to North America for an almost-three-month jaunt across the continent.
It all kicked off at the Sunrise BB&T Center in Florida and will climax in Mexico City at the Sports Palace in September, before three dates in Brazil, Argentina and Chile.
Iron Maiden brought the biggest of big guns with them for the tour, which has already taken the UK by storm. Planes flying overhead, costume changes, flamethrowers, set changes, a giant Eddie, a monstrous Beast... it's as close to heavy metal theatre as you're likely to get.
The two-hour 16-song setlist spanned the breadth and depth of the Maiden back catalogue, picking tracks from ten different albums, including Brave New World, A Matter Of Life And Death and even Virtual XI.
It's the same setlist that we saw on the UK run, and let's be honest, it's pretty much flawless.
