Iron Maiden's manager comments on the announcement of a show in Knebworth
Run For Your Lives tour show back to the UK next summer. There has been phenomenal demand for tickets this year, but we wanted to do something a little different, especially as it would be hard to top the show at London Stadium. Well, we think Knebworth is the solution. As well as being a legendary venue for historic concerts over the years, we have a great outdoor space and the control to create something very special for our fans. We will occupy the entire grounds and transform it as much as possible into a 'Maiden World' so that all our fans can enjoy it.”
He continued: “Eddie’s Dive Bars have proven immensely popular on this tour, so our intention is to create the biggest one yet, which will also be open on Friday. So, we hope you’ll join us next year to continue celebrating five decades of Iron Maiden. It will be an event to go down in history, in a truly historic location.”
