Iron Maiden have announced their new touring drummer
Following Nicko McBrain’s retirement from touring, Iron Maiden have revealed that “a name familiar to many of our fans” will be stepping in next year.
Following yesterday's Australian tour announcement, Maiden have revealed a full slew of worldwide live shows.
Only yesterday, Iron Maiden revealed a handful of tour dates in Australia and New Zealand, with Killswitch Engage providing direct support. Now, the band have expanded those dates to include tour stops all around the world -- and man, does it look like one hell of a trek!
After New Zealand, the tour heads to the Philippines and Japan, followed by stops in Dubai and Israel before heading into Europe. The band then play a slew of festivals and one-off dates, with support provided by acts including Airbourne, Within Temptation, and more.
