Hello Trooper's!! I have a wonderful announcement. As a thank you to all of their fans, Iron Maiden has announced that they will be live streaming the final performance of the epic Book of Souls tour,
from the Wacken Open Air Festival in Germany. You can watch the live concert at www.arte.tv/guide/en/concert and at www.wacken.com/ on August 4th 9:30pm CET / 2:30pm (CST).
Iron Maiden’s manager Rod Smallwood was asked for his thoughts on the event.
We decided to finish the tour at Wacken as it is the ideal way to end this magical tour playing to 80,000 core metal fans at this legendary Metal festival. He added: Wacken has become such as international event with many thousands of fans from many other countries around the world joining and celebrating with the German fans so it is perfect for the final show of a memorable tour. Everywhere we’ve played the fans have been amazing and the reaction to the new songs and stage show has been phenomenal. The band has loved every minute on stage. So when Wacken and ARTE asked us to consider a live stream of our performance there we jumped at the chance to give our fans an end of tour gift. Streaming this final show live globally allows us to thank the many fans we played to so far, and, for those who couldn’t get to see us this time round, a chance to see just how spectacular the live concert is and what they missed.
The tour which began on February 24th has gone to over 70 city's in over 35 countries.
