The official IRON MAIDEN website reports:
"Iron Maiden are to perform at the Super Bock Super Rock Festival in Lisbon (Portugal) on Wednesday, July 9th at the Parque do Tejo as part of their Somewhere Back In Time World Tour 2008.Steve Harris says, "I'm personally really looking forward to be playing this festival as I have a lot of close ties with Portugal because I spend a lot of time at my second home in Faro where I also have my 'Eddie's Bar' as well. So I will have a lot of friends and regulars coming down to this show. The Portuguese fans have always been very ardent and loyal followers of the band so it should be a great festival."

It was announced earlier that Iron Maiden have renewed and extended their historic 28-year recording relationship with EMI for the World excluding USA.
Rod Smallwood commented, "We've had three tremendous decades working with EMI and have many friends there. Through many "regimes" EMI have always given us their full support and our relationship with their companies worldwide has always been excellent. We've got some great plans for 2008 and beyond, and I can't wait to get back on the road next year on a tour which appropriately celebrates the band's formative years. "
Tony Wadsworth, Chairman & CEO, EMI Music UK said, "Since the early eighties Maiden has been a flagship band for EMI and we have enjoyed a fantastic long term relationship. Now that we can work with and support them in their broader music activities, our goal is to help build on the foundations already in place for an even more successful future."
