Iron Maiden will play Split, Croatia’s Spaladium Arena on July 27th as part of The Book Of Souls World Tour. It will be the second time Iron Maiden have played in Split, the first being in 2008 at Poljud Stadium, and this time they would like one of Split’s favourite sons, West Ham United coach Slaven Bilić, up on stage playing with them, reports CroatiaWeek.com.
Founder member and bassist Steve Harris, who grew up in England aspiring to be a professional footballer and even trained with West Ham, is a big Bilić fan, who also happens to be a musician and Iron Maiden fan himself. In 2008 Bilić was at the Split concert in the crowd.
“I have known Bilić for a number of years now, the first time I met him was when he played for West Ham. My son George was the mascot when we met at the game and we have stayed in contact. We saw each other over Christmas and chatted, I know he is one of our big fans,” Harris told daily Slobodna Dalmacija, before being asked if they had thought about inviting Bilić up on stage to play with them for a song.
