PAUL DI'ANNO - North American Running Free Again Tour To Feature Support From ICARUS WITCH, CAULDRON And WIDOW
March 22, 2012, 12 years ago
Former IRON MAIDEN frontman PAUL DI'ANNO will be returning to North America this summer for his most extensive tour ever. Once again DiAnno’s backing and support band will be Cleopatra recording artist ICARUS WITCH. This run of dates, however, will also include Earache buzz band CAULDRON and Pure Steel traditional metal maniacs WIDOW.
Charging onto the scene in 1980 as the incendiary front man for arguably the biggest heavy metal band in history, DiAnno lead the New Wave of British Heavy Metal singing on both the self-titled Iron Maiden album and its follow up, Killers. After releasing the live Maiden Japan EP, the London icon left to form DI'ANNO, BATTLEZONE and KILLERS among other projects.
Over three decades later the Beast is still as vicious as ever on stage playing to rabid metal heads throughout the world. His influence is undeniable on the younger bands he is bringing on the road this year.
This exciting true metal package bridges the gap between fans who were around for the initial Iron Maiden craze and the new generation of headbangers discovering the power of classic metal in its purest form. The tour is being booked by Intromental Worldwide and will run through the US and Canada from July 25th to September 2nd. The preliminary dates of the tour as as follows, but expect an updated and longer itinerary to come in the next couple of weeks.
