Iron Maiden 2011

[Bruce Dickinson]

for the metal heads it's been confirmed that Iron Maiden will be touring in Feb/March 2011. Fan Club tickets on sale Monday 9 August

Two gigs on their own on 23 February in Melbourne and 24 Sydney followed by headline of Soundwave with Slayer, Queens of the Stone Age etc around Australia

8188

[henno]

QOTSA, Slayer, Primus, Rob Zombie... all pretty good supporting acts as well. I expect the tickets to be a squillion dollars.

[PeteyD]

That'll be way out of my price range.

[Bruce Dickinson]

That'll be way out of my price range.
the maiden gigs will be reasonably priced, I think I paid around $120 last time

[PeteyD]

Yea, but no normal gig in Brissy. Bugga em. Should be able to get a ticket closer to it if I can get there. I drove to Sydney to see em on the Fear of the Dark tour. Bit too old for that these days!

the SoundWave ticket info is out tomorrow. At this stage I'm going to do the Melbourne/Sydney maiden gigs and then Brisbane/ Perth for the Soundwave gigs, subject to having enough FF points

[PeteyD]

Financial restrictions stop me from that. A mate of mine runs a shop that sells the soundwave tickets. I'll see if I can find out how much they are.

[adlo]

I'm excited

I'm excited
I knew you couldn't resist, note the first four words of the thread "for the metal heads"

You stick to Ryan Adams and facial hair

[adlo]

Will do, thanks Bruce.

You keep living in the 80's.

[henno]

Protip: most of the lineup is from the 90's and later.

[adlo]

But Bruce is in the 80's. I am not talking about the festival.

[PeteyD]

Bruce, we'll have to meet up for the Brissy festival. Good chance of me making sydney as well.

[Jarro]

A few of us at work are thinking of going.

Should be good, as long as the main acts aren't performing at the same time ~!!

I'm going to the festival in Brisbane and Perth and will quite happily watch Slayer and Queens of the Stone Age

If you want a ticket for maiden in sydney let me know, the fan club pre sale starts next Tuesday. I believe that the tickets are going to be around $150

[PeteyD]

Tickets for Brisbane Soundwaves are $159.15 in the presale. There is probably a booking fee on top of that. For the lineup I reckon that is awesome value.

Bruce I can't afford Sydney at the moment. If things look up between now and then and I can wrangle something i will go.

[henno]

I expect the tickets to be a squillion dollars.

In light of my recent run of shitty luck I'm throwing caution to the wind and going to this thing. You only live once and I don't want to regret not forking out the dosh like I do the last time RATM toured.

Call it a 30th b'day present to myself.

[Bruce Dickinson]

I'm definite for Melbourne and Sydney maiden gigs only now due to cashflow.

[PeteyD]

Brisbane Soundwave. Will try and make the Sydney gig but unless cash changes it's a no go.

[hocko]

Bruce,

Can you gimme some more info on the Perth gig?
Would love to hear the "air raid siren" wail again.

It was on at Bassendean Oval but they are now advertising a new venue still to be announced. Its on Monday March 6

Line up includes Slayer and Queens of the Stone Age, maiden are the headline act and from all reports do around a 90 minute set. Tickets are $165 (?)

[hocko]

Good line up..hopefully it will be at a descent venue.
Went and saw Peral Jam at ME Bank stadium and they had to finish at 930 because of the whinging locals.

one week to go to the Melbourne Show at Hisense Arena, Michael Buble is on the same night at Rod Laver

[Jarro]

The band will be arriving at Brisbane Airport sometime tomorrow (sorry, don't know the exact time) in their private 757.

I'll try and sneak over there again and take some up close pics (again)

[PeteyD]

Thanks Jarro, Will be as close as I get this year

[Jarro]

I saw Ed-Force 1 arrive at Brissy Airport today at around noon :)

Took a few snaps too ..... only one member of the band was onboard though .... Steve Harris :(

Melbourne was good, hisense arena is not a great venue.

Sydney was superb, two hours of metal mastery
