\n\t\u201cWe\u2019ve been enjoying this last leg in the USA and Canada so much that we all had a chat and decided we should take the show to parts we missed, particularly the North West and South East. It just seems fair to our many fans there who have given us tremendous support for so many years,\u201d Harris said in a statement.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe can\u2019t get everywhere but we can try! Also, we have always enjoyed playing the many great festivals that are in Europe and wanted to experience a couple more in the USA which we will do at the end of the tour in Columbus and Maryland. At festivals you are not just playing to your own fans so it\u2019s always a challenge and we all love a challenge!\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tBritish bands Bullet for My Valentine and the Raven Age will serve as support on the trek, marking the first time since 1983 that Iron Maiden has toured on a three British band bill.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n
