Iron Maiden have announced a massive show at Knebworth Park in Hertfordshire, UK. The concert will be held on July 11 and it will also feature The Darkness, The Hu, Airbourne, and The Almighty. Tickets will go on sale on September 27.
Manager Rod Smallwood commented:
“We knew that we had to bring the ‘Run For Your Lives’ show back to the U.K. again next summer as there was such a phenomenal demand for tickets this year but we wanted to do something a bit different especially as it would be hard to top the show at London Stadium! Well, we think that Knebworth is the solution — besides being a legendary venue for historic concerts over the years going right back to Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, The [Rolling] Stones and Queen — it also gives us the outdoor space and control to create something very special for our fans! Of course, we also have history there too with our headline appearances at Sonisphere some years ago, who could forget that World War I Centenary dog fight over the park’s tree line with Bruce full guns blazing in his own Fokker triplane? However, this time we will be taking over the whole of the grounds ourselves and turning it into as much of a ‘Maiden World’ as we can for all our fans to enjoy!
Our Eddie’s Dive Bars have proved immensely popular on this current tour so our intention is to create our biggest one yet which will also be open on the Friday for the campers from the separate communal camping & glamping areas. For those lucky Friday night campers there will be a full program of Maiden-themed entertainment there that night, which we expect to include some live music, DJs, the aforementioned dive bar, along with other attractions and entertainment we are currently working on to make it the best warm up for the big day!
So we hope you will join us next year as we continue to celebrate five decades of Iron Maiden. It’s going to be one for the history books…in a really historic venue!”
