Iron Maiden is coming back to North America!! Bruce, Steve, Dave, Adrian, Nicko and Janick will be heading over and playing a ton of old shit. The band promises to play "about two thirds of the original track list of Maiden England”, according to Bruce Dickinson, who added the band will play "other favourites we just know the fans are going to want to hear." It's so cute how British people add a "u" to favorites. I'm sure you Brits think it's cute how we omit it. As for the opener, Alice Cooper will be on the first leg, until July 21, and Coheed & Cambria will be on the second half of the tour. Here are the dates:
