Metal legends Iron Maiden have confirmed that they will indeed be performing in India this year. According to the official Iron Maiden Web site, the concert, organised by DNA Networks, will take place on March 17, 2007 at Palace Grounds (Bangalore).
Lead singer Bruce Dickinson is excited about playing in India. “To say we’re all really looking forward to going to Bangalore is something of an understatement,” he says, “It’s very special to us to be able play to new fans in countries we’ve never been to before, and we hear the Indian fans are very loud and into their metal. The whole trip will be an exciting time for us and we intend to enjoy every moment there. The fans should know that we are bringing the whole stage show we used in Europe and America and that Eddie will definitely be joining us! We are crafting a special set to include both songs from ‘A Matter of Life and Death’ and a load of other favorites. It promises to be an absolutely amazing atmosphere playing outdoors in front of the palace.”
Band manager Ron Smallwood said, “Going right back to 1985 and tours behind the old Iron Curtain, particularly Poland, Maiden have always enjoyed blazing the trail, taking metal to new fans all over the world. We have wanted to play in India for some time, and the success of the new album persuaded us to interrupt our break and go there in March. We were also invited to play in Beijing and Shanghai in China but Eddie was concerned about restrictions relating to choice of songs and artwork so we are leaving that to a later time.”
