AVENGED SEVENFOLD JOIN MAIDEN FOR TWICKENHAM STADIUM AND OTHER EUROPEAN SHOWS

IRON MAIDEN are very pleased to announce that AVENGED SEVENFOLD will join them as SPECIAL GUESTS at Twickenham Stadium on July 5, Paris Bercy July 2 and 3 and a number of dates in Finland and Scandinavia (as listed below) on their "SOMEWHERE BACK IN TIME WORLD TOUR".

Following the mighty success of their recent album, "Avenged Sevenfold" (which charted at No 3 in Billboard in the USA and is close to gold in the UK), the band are currently on an extensive sold out UK tour and vocalist M. Shadows comments -

" I've seen Maiden play countless times and am continually blown away, not just by their live show, but also by the great records they continue to make. We have learned much from Iron Maiden and are honored to be sharing the stage with some of the greatest ICONS in rock music."

Maiden Manager Rod Smallwood comments: "It’s a tremendous time for metal fans right now with some fantastic young bands making a real mark for themselves. Maiden are delighted to be bringing their fans one of the very best, Avenged Sevenfold, who will be joining them on a number of their European Summer shows. It all adds up to an even more memorable night out for the fans! We will now be considering who will play in the slot before Avenged at Twickenham"
