IRON MAIDEN have confirmed that further to last week's announcement of an additional show in Athens, Greece they will be playing a headline show in Belgrade, Serbia on Wednesday, March 14th as part of a short run of dates in mid-March.

The venue is the 18,000 capacity Belgrade Fair Indoor Arena and tickets for the show will be going on sale on Wednesday, January 24th.

Says Steve Harris, "I'm pretty sure in saying that this will be the first time we've been to Belgrade for just over 20 years back on the Somewhere In Time tour so I'm sure many of our fans in Serbia will be very excited at the news that we're making this visit that some would say is long overdue! As we said a couple of years ago we would try and visit new places and cities where we haven't played for a long time when the opportunity to do so came up and this is just such an occasion. And we are very much looking forward to it."
