Iron Maiden's Bruce Dickinson Promises "Social Media Madness" on New Tour

Iron Maiden frontman Bruce Dickinson says the band's upcoming Legacy of the Beast tour is going to blow fans away. 

The European tour, which will celebrate the legendary heavy metal band's classic catalogue, begins in May.  

Dickinson says he's been deeply involved in designing the band's new stage show, and he's excited to give the fans something they haven't seen before.

"I’m focused on what’s gonna constitute an amazing setlist, and what’s gonna constitute an amazing stage show," he told Kerrang! "I’m looking at the show as something that should certainly exceed what we did on the Book Of Souls tour, and I’m approaching things a slightly different way."

The singer says the band intends to shake up the way it typically performs its best-known material. 

While the Book of Souls tour—in support of the album of the same name—encouraged more dialogue between Dickinson and the audience, the new tour will be packed to the gills with music and excitement.

"The drama should be in the transitions of the stage and the music," says Dickinson. "And we’re playing one or two things that people are gonna be really surprised by. There’ll be social media madness after the first show.”

Iron Maiden is also preparing to release its Scream for Me, Sarajevo documentary about its 1994 concert in war-torn Sarajevo, the capital of Bosnia and Hersegovina.
