Yes, there is a tour of Japan next year, http://www.ironmaiden.com/ has details of what they are up to :-)

Yes Iron Maiden were founded in 1976 and are still going. Known for such powerful hits as "Two Minutes to Midnight" and "The Trooper," Iron Maiden was and is one of the most influential bands of the heavy metal genre.

iron maiden still goes and plays just as good as any new metal band!

iron maiden is going on a trour this year called somewhere back in time ;)

I think they are, yes. I was never a fan, I think IRON really sums they up.

yep, my buddy just saw them in june in d.c. ;) he said it was a great show!

Yes, and of recent years they've had a strong come back. In 2001, Maiden released Brave New World with Bruce back on vocals ( where he belongs) and Adrian Smith came back on guitars. So, now they have three guitarists and they are awesome. In support of Brave New World Maiden played Rock in Rio to approx. 250,000 fans. Which is incredible, but there were a # of other great acts on that bill. In 2005 They joined Sabbath for Ozzfest, which the only show worth watching was Maiden, and Sharon threw a tissy, and Maiden and ozz-fest split their ways. In 2008 they embarked on their largest tour to date, calling it, " Somewhere Back on Tour" : a set list that consisted of the first 9 albums. The tour started in Mumbai, India on 1 February 2008 where the band played to an audience of almost 30,000. The first part of the tour consisted of 24 concerts in 21 cities, travelling over 50, 000 miles in the band's own chartered airplane "Ed Force One".[41] They played their first ever concerts in Costa Rica and Colombia and their first Australian shows since 1992. On 12 May, the band released a new compilation album, titled Somewhere Back in Time. It includes a selection of tracks from their 1980 eponymous debut to 1988's Seventh Son of a Seventh Son, including several live versions from Live After Death. With the sole UK headline show at Twickenham Stadium, this tour also marked the first ever stadium headlining show in the UK by the band.[42] A final part of the tour took place in February and March 2009,[43] including the band's first ever appearance in Peru and Ecuador, and their first performances in New Zealand for 16 years.[44] On 20 January 2009, the band announced that they were to release a full-length documentary film in select cinemas on 21 April. Titled Iron Maiden: Flight 666, the movie was filmed during the first part of the "Somewhere Back In Time" tour between February and March 2008. Flight 666 is co-produced by Banger Productions and was released by Universal Music Group in the U.S. and EMI Records in the rest of the world.[45] During a Rock Radio interview promoting Flight 666, Nicko McBrain revealed that Iron Maiden had booked studio time for early 2010 and would be likely to be touring again late that year or the year after.[46] At the 2009 BRIT Awards the band won the award for best live act.[47]
