Iron Maiden has announced the second leg of their eagerly anticipated North American summer tour, including a triumphant return to Madison Square Garden on Father's Day - Sunday, June 15th, 2008. The Somewhere Back In Time Tour revisits the band's history by focusing almost entirely on their classic '80s period in both choice of songs played and the stage set, which is based around the legendary Egyptian production of the Powerslave Tour as portrayed on the "Live After Death" DVD.
Known for such powerful hits as "Two Minutes to Midnight" and "The Trooper," Iron Maiden is one of the most influential bands of the heavy metal genre. In fact, they're one of the first groups to be classified as "British metal," along with the likes of Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin.
This will arguably be the most elaborate and spectacular show the band has ever presented. The band intends to bring the colossal mummy of Eddie, along with various other elements of the show that would not fit on the Maiden Boeing 757 during the first leg of the tour.
