Gig promoters Stuart Galbraith and Alan Day of Kilimanjaro commented, "Maiden have a different view on how they want to do things for their fans than most bands. We previously worked with them at Sonisphere and when they explained what they wanted to do for this show we were hooked. It will be a unique event. A celebration of the Eddie-verse if you will: a curated Friday afternoon, night and all day Saturday, finishing with the last UK show Maiden will play until at least 2028!
"Creating something like that, which will include a once-in-a-lifetime Infinite Dreams museum experience, featuring a wide range of rarely-seen memorabilia from throughout their history, a Maiden-themed fun fair, the biggest Eddie's Dive Bar ever with some extra special additions and surprises, plus the ability to camp, glamp or park a motorhome on site for the Friday and Saturday night show in a specially created 'village' space with Maiden Alumni, friends and our perfect partners, Planet Rock - well it was a chance not to be missed!"
And let's not forget, Iron Maiden's show on 11th July also comes with The Darkness, Airbourne, The Hu and The Almighty on the bill.
