Iron Maiden are to perform at the Slavia Football Stadium in Prague on Friday 8th August as part of their Somewhere Back In Time World Tour 2008.

Steve Harris says “We’ve got a lot of friends in Prague as we visit there as often as we can although this time it’s going to be a little different as we’re in a much bigger venue than usual at the football stadium so the atmosphere will be all that more special I think.

I remember the last time we were there at the T Mobile Arena and it was the opening show of the Eddie Rips Up Europe tour in 2005 and the reception from the fans was just incredible. Nearly lifted the roof off the place! It’s always electric thanks to the energy of the fans and we’re really looking forward to playing there again.”

Tickets go on sale to the public on Monday 17th December.
