Soon Iron Maiden will return to the Rock in Rio stage. Their history goes back a long way – they are the only attraction on Palco Mundo that was also at the inaugural edition of the event in a distant January 1985.

Today’s show will feature eight of the 14 songs they played that time – songs that were new at the time and have now become metal classics like “Flight Of Icarus”, “The Trooper” or “Revelations”.

But don’t just expect nostalgia. The sextet also plays songs from the recent “Shinjitsu”, three in total, and later ones like “Blood Brothers” and “The Clansman”.

Also expect a well-produced show, with theatrical touches and lots of special effects. Anyway, the recipe that made Maiden one of the greatest metal bands in history.
