Iron Maiden Adds Second New York Show For Final Legacy of The Beast Tour


Due to popular demand, Iron Maiden has added a second show on their summertime “Legacy Of The Beast” tour in the USA. A second night at Barclays Center on Saturday, July 27 on their tour has been added. Tickets go on sale Friday, March 1 at 10 a.m. local time at LiveNation.com. This latest date completes the final tour routing for Maiden in North America and no further shows will be added. There will be an exclusive pre-sale for fan-club members.

Vocalist Bruce Dickinson comments: “We’re excited to return to North America and unveil the ‘Legacy Of The Beast’ tour to all our friends there! We’re immensely proud of this show and we’ve had great reactions from the many fans who came to see us in Europe last year. The production is based on our mobile game ‘The Legacy Of The Beast’, which basically takes various incarnations of Eddie into many different MAIDEN worlds. This inspired us to put together a stage show to take our fans through unique worlds and experiences set to appropriate songs. It is not that easy designing different worlds on stage and we put a huge amount of time into this to make it work and the end result we feel is our most spectacular and certainly the most complex show to date. We’ve got all kinds of crazy things going on, including a replica Spitfire plane dominating the stage during ‘Aces High’, tons of pyro, a giant Icarus, muskets, claymores and some truly marvellous flame-throwers which I have a hell of a lot of fun with, as you will see! And, of course, we have Eddie, as you’ve never seen him before, and absolutely loads of other surprises. I’ve had the time of my life playing with all these magnificent props on stage, it’s been fantastic, we can’t wait to bring this show to you!”

Steve Harris adds: “We gave a lot of thought to the set list for this tour as the songs needed to follow the narrative of the changing worlds of the stage show. We feel we ended up with a very strong and well-balanced set mixing songs we haven’t played in many years like ‘Flight Of Icarus’, ‘Sign Of The Cross’ and ‘The Clansman’, with songs we know the fans want to hear like ‘The Trooper’, ‘2 Minutes To Midnight’, ‘The Number Of The Beast’, ‘Fear Of The Dark’, ‘Run To The Hills’, ‘Hallowed Be Thy Name’ and others, reflecting the journey through the different themes of the show. The whole band is really enjoying this tour and we are really looking forward to seeing everybody in North America again!”

For the majority of the 2019 shows, Iron Maiden will, in conjunction with the promoters, be implementing a digital ticketing system in as many venues as possible. This technology, being used by the NFL, among others, is a progression of the paperless system that MAIDEN has been successfully using since 2010 and has worked well in lessening ticket scalping and the drain of prime tickets into the secondary market.

Fans in the USA and Canada will once again be able to enjoy a Trooper VIP Upgrade package allowing early access to the venue, a pile of Trooper goodies, Trooper beers, food and a designated area to meet with other fans, plus the opportunity to win some great prizes. Packages will be available from IronMaiden.com priced at U.S. $220 ($290 CAD for Canadian shows), with a 10% discount for fan-club members.
