more tickets for Iron Maiden

Fans wanting to go to Iron Maiden's first UK stadium appearance at London's Twickenham Stadium on Saturday 5th July, with special guests Avenged Sevenfold and Within Temptation, are to get the opportunity to buy more standing tickets.

Maiden Manager Rod Smallwood explains "We know many of our fans love to be standing in front of the stage so we are very pleased that we have been able to secure these extra standing tickets. This will be a memorable show and will be our only one in the UK for at least two years so we intend to make it very special."

These go on sale this Friday 14th March, check back with eGigs then to get your tickets.

With the success of the current 'Somewhere Back In Time World Tour '08', and the recent No 1 selling DVD 'Live After Death', Iron Maiden are also to release a very special album on Monday 12th May. The album celebrates the current tour by featuring most of the essential tracks from the band's first seven studio albums and one live album, recorded between 1980 and 1989, and is entitled 'Somewhere Back In Time'.

Iron Maiden have also announced the unique 'Somewhere Best In Sound' whereby the entire album can be downloaded without charge from the band's website as a high quality audio file (WMA) which is a typically powerful 320 kbps.

Fans will then be able to listen to the entire album at their leisure three times before the download expires. The listener is then given a simple option to upgrade and purchase the album as a full traditional DRM-free download (so they can then copy or do as they like with the album).

Manager Smallwood explains the thinking behind this innovative move: "We wanted to give the kids of today a fair chance of hearing the music as we would have first heard and experienced it in our day when checking it out in a record shop – top quality sound, in their own time and in an environment of their own choosing so they are able to absorb the depth and worth of the music and lyrics that make Iron Maiden the phenomenon they are. What better way to use modern means and a very high quality download! Sadly the WMA (Windows Media Audio) isn't compatible with Macs or iPods but we are confident that our young fans are adept and fluent with modern technology and we will post simple instructions on our website for any that need guidance."

The full track-listing for the album 'Somewhere Back In Time' is as follows:
