Iron Maiden unveil 2019 dates for Legacy of the Beast tour

The heavy metal legends set their sights on the Americas.
Iron Maiden have announced the 2019 dates for their Legacy of the Beast tour. After the tour’s tremendous success in Europe, the legends have decided to take the production to the Americas, kicking the tour off in Sunrise, Florida, in July and concluding it in Santiago, Chile, in October.
Legacy of the Beast is inspired by the mobile game of the same name, which the band released in 2016. Just as players navigate the game world as Eddie, a playable character, Iron Maiden aims to take their fans on a similar epic journey during the show. According to the band, the production is their most elaborate thus far.
“It is not that easy designing the different Maiden Worlds on stage, and we put a huge amount of work into this to make it work. And the end result we feel is our most spectacular and certainly the most complex show to date,” frontman Bruce Dickinson said in a statement.
“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!”
The setlist was carefully tailored for the show, according to bassist Steve Harris. “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,” he said.
