Heavy metal legends IRON MAIDEN have announced that their 2021 June & July dates on the Legacy Of The Beast Tour have been postponed due to the continuing COVID-19 pandemic restrictions on global live events and travel. The Legacy Of The Beast European Tour will now take place in the Summer of 2022 on the dates below. All tickets remain valid, with some venue changes outlined below.
- The German Stuttgart 2022 show will now take place at the Cannstatter Wasen, not the Mercedes-Benz Arena, which is not available due to stadium reconstruction works. Tickets remain valid and ticket-holders will be notified by the local promoter/ticketing agency in due course.
- The Swiss show has reverted to Zurich Hallenstadion as was originally planned for 2020, as this venue is now available again for 2022. Therefore, there will be no rescheduled show for Basel St Jakobshalle (which never went on”sale this year).
- Tickets for Zurich along with Frankfurt, Arnhem and Belsonic will go on sale imminently (details below)
Manager Rod Smallwood comments; “Naturally the band are hugely disappointed, a second summer without touring, especially with this very special Legacy show, is very hard to take. They send their best wishes to you all, knowing full well you fans will feel the same. As we all know, realistically there is no alternative so we will all make the best of it and spend the time preparing for a very memorable and even more spectacular Legacy tour next year, we promise! Until then keep safe and keep smart”
The postponement of the Legacy Of The Beast Tour does however bring the good news that MAIDEN can now return to headlining the European festival dates initially planned for 2020 which were cancelled due to the pandemic. This includes Graspop in Belgium so therefore the own-show date in Antwerp (which had also not gone on sale) will no longer take place.
Furthermore, the band is in the process of finalizing a further couple of own-shows in other European territories and will update the fans about those as soon as they are confirmed. Confirmed supports for all own-shows can be found on the band’s Tour date page. Where possible these will remain the same as announced for this year.
