IRON MAIDEN To Play Italy On Summer Tour
November 19, 2004, 19 years ago
IRON MAIDEN fan site MaidenFans.com (www.maidenfans.com) report that AirRaidSyren of the Maidenfans BB has posted a small interview with drummer Nicko McBrain, done before his drum clinic in in Italy with Anthenora on November 18th.
The complete report, which includes a small review of the show and the setlist, can be found in the Maiden Chat.
The following are a few points from the piece:
More tour dates are to be announced in the coming weeks, and Maiden are confirmed to play in Italy next year.
Plausible songs for the setlist: Nicko said that ‘Where Eagles Dare’, ‘Prowler’, ‘22 Acacia Avenue’, ‘The Prisoner’, ‘Phantom Of The Opera’ and maybe ‘Drifter’ probably would be played, but that they're not fully agreed yet. He also said that ‘To Tame A Land’ would be an idea and that ‘Run To The Hills’ most likely wouldn't be played, as Nicko's bored of playing it.
As previously reported, upcoming Iron Maiden tour dates currently include:
June
25 at Parc Des Princes in Paris, France
26 at Graspop Festival in Dessel, Belgium
27 at Spektrum in Oslo, Norway
29 at Spektrum in Oslo, Norway
July
6 at Hartwell Arena in Helsinki, Finland
7 at Hartwell Arena in Helsinki, Finland
9 at Ullevi Stadium in Gothenburg, Sweden
Nicko McBrain recently revealed that Iron Maiden's forthcoming studio album will be done in November, 2005 with another tour to follow in 2006 which will include festival dates.
