Da har Iron Maiden begynt å publisere noen av datoene sine.

Somewhere Back In Time World 08' Vil begynne 1. Februar og fortsette utover til sommeren og kanskje lenger.

 

8. November legges bilettene til Skandinavia ut for Fanclub medlemmene ut.

 

__________________________________________________________________________

 

This first leg of Iron Maiden's 'SOMEWHERE BACK IN TIME' World Tour will open in Mumbai India on Feb 1st, and continue through Australia, Japan, Los Angeles and Mexico, followed by the band's first ever concerts in Costa Rica and Columbia, and then on to Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Puerto Rica and New York, before finishing in Toronto, Canada, on March 16th. Over the 45 day period it is anticipated that Maiden will play to well over 400,000 fans in 21 cities in 10 countries, flying close to 50,000 miles in the specially refitted plane (full schedule below).

 

Comments Bruce Dickinson, "I have been flying commercial passenger jets for Astraeus Airlines for a few years now and we are commissioning an Astraeus Boeing 757. It will go in for overhaul, painting and conversion in November which will then give us time to ensure we have all the necessary safety documentation, especially with regard to fire safety. It also means it could possibly be flying commercial air routes decked out in Maiden colours for a couple of months before we start!

Bryter inn her.. Det er ikke mange band som har en 757 i egne farger!! :cool:

 

"Looking at the list of places we would like to play we have always had problems joining up the dots. With sea containers in various places it slows down the whole touring process, which is fine if you want a holiday but not if you want to play. It's great to see places but we don't want to sit around for a week waiting for gear to get from, say, Australia to South America, so this way we can get to more fans in more places en route in the same time period"

 

To tie in with forthcoming 2008 releases on DVD of the classic 'LIVE AFTER DEATH' concert video (full details coming soon) this tour, aptly entitled 'SOMEWHERE BACK IN TIME', will revisit the band's history by focusing almost entirely on the 80's in both choice of songs played and the stage set, which will be based around the legendary Egyptian Production of the 1984-85 'Powerslave Tour'. This will arguably be the most elaborate and spectacular show the band have ever presented, and will include some key elements of their Somewhere In Time tour of 1986/7, such as the Cyborg Eddie.

 

Steve Harris comments "l always loved the Powerslave show which I think was arguably our most spectacular ever, so taking it out again is really going to be a lot of fun. Taking our own 757 really makes it a lot more flexible for us and we intend to ram into the specially constructed cargo holds as much of the show as we possibly can. The schedule we have been able to put together due to this flexibility l think is very exciting, taking us to some places we haven't been in a long while like Australia and some we have never been to like Columbia and Costa Rica. It is always refreshing going to new places and we hear the fans there are incredible! It's a lot of flying but will be well worth it.

 

"As always when planning these tours we sadly aren't always able to get to everywhere that we'd like to for various logistical and timing reasons

and there are probably fans out there who might be disappointed. We promise we will try even harder the next time around to get to those places."

Noen som skal til Ullevi i Sverige? :D

Regner selvfølgelig med at det blir i Norge, Bruce sa jo det senest sist de var her, men jeg er liksom ikke så gira på å se dem på Karasjok Joike festival, sammen med masse samer og reinsdyr :P Ikke for det, jeg går utifra at det blir et sted sør for Trondheim, og sansynligvis Oslo.

Skrevet

Ettersom det jeg husker, så sa Bruce: When we see you next time, let's say... uhm.. Summer 2008, we will only play old songs. And we will play outside and probably make history by making the biggest metal show ever in Norway, so we will have to find the biggest park in Oslo.

Kan ikke huske at han spesifiserte hvor det skulle være, men det begynner jo uansett å bli en stund siden...men ja, du har rett i at han sa at det bare ble ett show i Norge, hvor de skulle samle alle Maiden-fans på ett sted. Bare vi slipper det skrotene stedet "Vallhall" en gang til så er jeg fornøyd :P

Føler jeg blir sliten når jeg ser turnèlister. Så lange konserter' date=' nesten annenhver dag. At folk (og spesielt maiden, som ikke akkurat er ungdommer) orker.. :P

Regner med det blir på Valle Hovin, selv om jeg helst skulle sett dem på en mindre arena. [/quote']

Helt enig med deg, de fleste er jo 50 år!

Men det er det som er så bra med dem, dem gjør alt for fansen, og de er bedre live enne de er i studio!

Hvis det der er sant er det jo enormt! :grin:

De har jo ikke skrytt på seg noe som helst:

 

16.08.07 Adressa

– Det er nok en del som legger sammen to og to, og tror at vi har sikret oss Maiden for neste år. Men det har vi altså ikke gjort ennå. Men det er helt klart et aktuelt band, og det ville vært en fin utvikling for oss å gå fra Ozzy Osbourne i år til Iron Maiden neste år.

 

Det er mange som ønsker seg AC/DC til Lerkendal, og dette er også et band festivalen jobber hardt med å sikre seg.

 

09.06.07 Adressa

- Hva hadde vært drømmen å ha fått til Trondheim i 2008?

 

- AC/DC, det hadde kanskje vært det aller største. Men det finnes mange gode alternativer, som Metallica, Iron Maiden eller Rammstein. Eller flere yngre ting som også er spennende, sier Kristian Digre.

THE BIGGEST ROCK TOUR OF THE NORDICS... EVER

Published: November 5, 2007

 

 

SOMEWHERE BACK IN TIME WORLD TOUR 08

"THE BIGGEST ROCK TOUR OF THE NORDICS... EVER"

 

 

EMA Telstar are delighted to announce the return of IRON MAIDEN to the Nordic countries next year with what will be the biggest Rock Tour that any band has EVER undertaken there. Following their record breaking and massively popular sell outs at Ullevi Stadium in 2005, and the many multiple arena shows around the region in 2006, EMA and Iron Maiden have put together a concert schedule which will allow the band to play to 250,000 fans in the six stadium shows in the Summer of 2008. The full schedule is --

 

SOMEWHERE BACK IN TIME World Tour 08

JULY 2008

 

Wed 16th - Stockholm, Sweden - Stockholm Stadium

Fri 18th - Helsinki, Finland - Helsinki Olympic Stadium

Tue 22nd - Trondheim, Norway - Lerkendalstadium

Thu 24th - Oslo, Norway - Valle Hovin

Sat 26th - Gothenburg, Sweden - Ullevi Stadium

Sun 27th - Horsens, Denmark - Horsens Gods Bane Pladsen

 

To tie in with forthcoming 2008 release on DVD of the classic 'LIVE AFTER DEATH' concert video (full details available soon on www.ironmaiden.com) this tour, aptly entitled the 'SOMEWHERE BACK IN TIME -- WORLD TOUR 08", will revisit the band's history by focusing almost entirely on the 80's in both choice of songs played and the stage set, which will be based around the legendary Egyptian Production of the 1984-85 'Powerslave Tour'. This will arguably be the most elaborate and spectacular show the band have ever presented, and will include some key elements of their Somewhere In Time tour of 1986/7, such as the Cyborg Eddie.

 

Comments Tour Promoter Thomas Johansson of EMA Telstar "Everyone at EMA is very proud to be making history by giving our rock fans the biggest Nordic Rock Tour there has ever been and certainly one of the most spectacular. Maiden is so hugely popular with the Nordic peoples that we wanted to ensure that as many fans as possible got the opportunity to see this very special show next year as we expect demand for tickets to be enormous."

 

Steve Harris adds "There is a very special bond between Maiden and the Nordic people and we always feel very at home there. Perhaps Eddie really does have some Viking blood in his veins!!

 

"On the last tour we opened the show by playing our new album 'A Matter of Life and Death' in its 80 minute entirety. We thought we needed the challenge and it proved the right thing to do. However, it can be hard on the fans playing so much new material and we really appreciated the superb support they gave us. So now l guess it's payback time. It's tremendous to be able to use the profile of the 'Live After Death' DVD to do what is effectively an 80's show. It will be enormous fun and changing the approach to the songs we play tour by tour keeps it fresh and interesting for both the band and the fans alike. l think 'Powerslave' was an incredible show with the Egyptian theme and look forward to seeing it all again myself

 

"As always we look forward to spending a good amount of time in the Nordic countries and enjoying, as usual, some great nights out! "

 

The 'SOMEWHERE BACK IN TIME' World Tour is in three sections, the travel for the first of which being by very unique means with the group customising a Boeing 757 aircraft, which will carry the band, their crew and over 12 tons of equipment from city to city. This first section of the tour opens in Mumbai India on Feb 1st, continuing through Australia and Japan before arriving in Los Angeles. The entourage then fly to Mexico then onto Maiden's first ever visit to Costa Rica and Columbia, then on to Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Puerto Rica and New York, before finishing in Toronto, Canada, on March 16th. Over the 45 day period on this leg alone the band is anticipated to play to well over 400,000 fans in 21 cities in 10 countries, flying close to 50,000 miles in this refitted 757 which will be flown largely by vocalist and Astraeus Airline Captain Bruce Dickinson.

 

Comments Bruce Dickinson, "Looking at the list of places we would like to play we have always had problems joining up the dots. But without having sea containers all over the place slowing down the whole touring process and by having our own plane it has made it far easier to tour distant places like Australia for the first time in15 years. We have already had a great reaction from fans there, where the arenas in Melbourne and Sydney sold out in 15 and 25 minutes respectively!"

 

On the subject of returning to Scandinavia and Finland, Bruce enthused,

"If his is going to be the biggest Rock tour in Nordic History we will just have to pull out all the stops to make it one of our best ever and make it truly record breaking in every sense. This is truly a great statement for Heavy Metal music.

I just wish it was happening next week!"

 

The second leg of the tour will be in mid-May to mid -June in North America, a final third leg which will include the Nordic dates, will take place in July and August in stadiums and major festivals around Europe. In total the band are expected to play to well in excess of one and a half million fans during the whole tour.

 

Tickets go on sale to the public 9am Monday 12th November, but members of the Iron Maiden fan club will get special and exclusive first access to purchase tickets from 9am -- 6pm on Thursday 8th November. Go to www.ironmaiden.com for further information.

 

To allow Iron Maiden fans in Sweden, Finland, Denmark and Norway to get right up close to the band, The Iron Maiden fan club are running a special draw for members whereby 60 winners and a friend at each show will be given first access to the venue and be first to the stage barrier. Full details can be found on www.ironmaiden.com.

 

JADDAAA :D

Noen som vet hvor mange billetter man får forhåndsbestilt hvis man er medlem i fancluben? Og om det blir vanskelig å få tak i billetter på mandag når de går ut i salg? Vet ikke hvordan det har vært tidligere år om de har blitt solgt ut iløpet av få minutter eller? Tenker på Valle Hovin da forresten

Skrevet

Vet ikke hvor mange som blir reservet fancluben, men tror neppe det blir noe problem å sikre seg billett, såvidt jeg har hørt blir det i første omgang lagt ut 30 000 billetter til Valle Hovin og 25 000 til Lerkendal. Tidligere har konsertene blitt utsolgt i løpet av noen få minutter ja, men da har de jo også spilt på mye mindre steder som Oslo Spektrum og Vallhall. Jeg kommer uansett til å sitte klar klokka 0900 neste mandag ;)

 

Dette er ikke noe man kan gå glipp av som Maiden-fan! Blir utrolig spennende å høre låter fra deres desidert beste skiver, for ikke å snakke om at de skal ha med seg masse sceneeffekter fra "Powerslave"-turnèen, inkludert den enorme mumie-Eddie'en.
