July 30, 2012, 12 years ago
According to Billboard.biz, IRON MAIDEN are third on Billboard's Hot Tours Chart list of top-grossing tours with $4.8 million in ticket sales revenue from seven performances on its 2012 tour through North America.
Following a June 21 launch in Charlotte, the veteran English band played amphitheater dates in Atlanta, Boston and New York's Long Island before the June 29 concert at Susquehanna Bank Center in Camden, N.J., the first date included in this week's Hot Tours tally. Outdoor performances followed in the Washington D.C. market as well as in Milwaukee and Toronto. Although the majority of the group's tour dates this summer are outdoor shed performances, arenas are also included on the itinerary. Three of those indoor events are part of this week's recap. The Prudential Center in Newark, N.J. hosted the band on July 2, and two more arena shows were held in Canadian cities - Quebec City on July 8 and Montreal on July 11.
