"It's going to be crazy on social media after the first show," says Bruce Dickinson.

Iron Maiden vocalist Bruce Dickinson said fans will be surprised by the setlist for the new "Legacy Of The Beast" tour, inspired by the mobile game the band released.

"When you put on a show like the one we're planning, I want it to be not only efficient, but also incredible," Bruce said in an interview with Kerrang! magazine.

“I want people to say, ‘Wow! Oh my God, you have to see this show!’ and I want people to be surprised too. I want them to go home saying, ‘I can’t believe they played that song!’ That’s the reaction I want.”

Bruce continues: “On 'The Book Of Souls' tour there was a lot of interaction with the audience. I'm not planning that on this tour because we have so much to show. The show and the sound will take care of everything. I'm very involved with the show. At some points there's interaction with the audience, but it will be very self-explanatory what's happening – the emotion will be in the stage transitions and the music. And we're going to play one or two things that people will really be surprised by. It's going to be crazy on social media after the first show.”

The new tour's series of shows begins on May 26th in Estonia and already has dates announced until August 10th in London.
