According to MaidenFans.com, IRON MAIDEN drummer drummer Nicko McBrain has told the Swedish newspaper Expressen that the band's next world tour will start in January 2008, with a mention of a show at Ullevi Stadium in Gothenburg, Sweden, at some point during the summer. However, as Nicko has been known to say a lot of things before they're officially confirmed, consider this a rumor for the time being.

As previously reported, MAIDEN is rumored to planning a tour of South America in February, with alleged concert stops to include Argentina, Brazil, Chile and Colombia.

IRON MAIDEN is confirmed for next year's Wacken Open Air festival, set to take place July 31 - August 2, 2008 in Wacken, Germany.

IRON MAIDEN vocalist Bruce Dickinson announced from the stage at this year's Download festival, which took place June 8-10 at Donington Park, Leicestershire, England, that the group's performance was being filmed for an upcoming DVD.

As a grand finale to their festival/stadium summer tour, IRON MAIDEN performed a special one-off show at London's Brixton Academy on June 24 in aid of The Clive Burr MS Trust fund. This was IRON MAIDEN's final U.K. appearance for at least a year, and was the last time they performed this year's special setlist of songs from their latest album "A Matter of Life and Death" and the LP "The Number of the Beast".

well the sh*t they got from the osbournes kinda shows how petty that lot are when it comes to much better bands than the headline act of the ozzfest. besides, anything the wicked witch of the west has her claws into is bound to be crap.
