Iron Maiden Hit Bangalore, Feb 2009

Iron Maiden have confirmed that they will play one of the dates of the final leg of their ‘Somewhere Back In Time World Tour’ in Bangalore, in Feb 2009.

The band has been performing in venues around the world, transported in a customised Boeing 757 called Ed Force One. According to the band’s official website

Taking off in early February Maiden will make their first appearances in New Zealand for 16 years via Dubai and Bangalore followed by the long haul journey for a return to Mexico in some even larger venues and then finishing with an extended run through Central and South America to include countries and cities they have not visited before.

Iron Maiden hit Bangalore for the Royal Challenge Rock In India gig on Sun, Feb 15, 2009.

What better way to get over the loneliness of Valentine’s Day.

Also, given the paucity of international acts performing in India, Iron Maiden fatigue is probably something no one will worry about for at least the next couple of years.
