Iron Maiden to play Cape Town and Joburg
Iron Maiden, whose new studio double album 'The Book Of Souls' debuted this week at number four in South Africa, will play two shows: 18 May in Cape Town at the Grand Arena followed by 21 May at the Johannesburg Carnival City Festival Lawns.
Bruce Dickinson said: "I'm especially delighted to be coming to South Africa, as although the band has played here before, it'll be the first time that Adrian Smith and myself will be touring here as part of Iron Maiden, so we're really looking forward to seeing all our fans.
"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, as it's been a while since we saw you all, I am sure 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."
