Iron Maiden Belfast show announced for 2022

Iron Maiden have announced they will play a huge headline show in Belfast in 2022.

The rock band have revealed they will headline next year's Belsonic at Ormeau Park on June 13.

'The Legacy Of The Beast' tour was postponed this summer due to Covid-19 and will now take place next year with dates right across the world.

Based on their award winning mobile game of the same name, the tour has been deemed by fans and national and rock media alike as 'Maiden's most monumental show and best setlist ever'.

With over 90 million album sales, more than 2000 live performances in 63 countries, tens of millions of fans and 16 studio albums of unerring quality and power to their name, Iron Maiden have more than earned their proudly-held status as one of the most influential and revered bands of all time.

The band continue to traverse the globe, continually pushing boundaries, visiting new places and returning to cities not played in decades. Sure to be history in the making it’s more than mere proof that the fearsome tenacity that first propelled Iron Maiden into the stratosphere all those years ago is still there.

Manager Rod Smallwood said; “ 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."

Tickets for the Belsonic show in 2022 will go on sale this Friday, April 16 at 9am from Ticketmaster.
