After loads of rumors, AEG China has confirmed that heavy metal legends Iron Maiden will be making their Chinese mainland debut with shows at Beijing LeSports Center (formerly Wukesong Arena, Mastercard Arena) on Sunday, April 24 and Shanghai's Mercedes-Benz Arena on Tuesday, April 26. Tickets go on sale on January 19 at 2pm on Damai with Beijing tickets available from RMB380-1,480 and Shanghai tickets going for RMB380-1,380.
Four decades since forming, Iron Maiden are still going strong. Last year's The Book of Souls topped the charts in 40 countries and the group are exciting to bring their famed Ed Force One plane to China for the first time.
“We cannot wait to get back out on tour. Maiden thrive on touring and getting out to our fans, it’s also what we enjoy the most. When we start in the USA in late February it will be 19 months since our last show at Sonisphere in the UK so we are raring to go. It will be a great feeling to board our new Jumbo Ed Force One with the crew and the gear and head round the globe. As this will be our very first visit to China, the whole band is really excited about seeing our fans here and putting on the very best show we possibly can for you," said singer Bruce Dickinson in an official press release.
“Of course we haven't decided on the set list as yet and won’t until we start rehearsing but we really look forward to playing a number of new songs live, especially as the recording was so much live. However, we will include plenty of older fan favourites too. I think the fans will be delighted by what we have in mind. We are also in the middle of creating the new show and rest assured we are working hard to bring you all something spectacular, something with a lot of heart!!! You certainly deserve it for your patience.“
