Iron Maiden In India
WikiMedia.Org
Metal band Iron Maiden is weeks away from visiting India where they will perform at the Bangalore Palace.
The group, best known for songs like “The Number of the Beast” and “Run to the Hills,” will hit the Palace on March 17, becoming the first “major” heavy metal/rock band to perform in India.
“To say we’re all really looking forward to going to Bangalore is something of an understatement. It’s very special to us to be able to play to new fans in countries we’ve never been to before,” band-frontman Bruce Dickinson told reporters. “We hear the Indian fans are very loud and into their metal.”
Iron Maiden will be touring in promotion of the group’s new album Matter of Life and Death.

It is a dream come true
kiran, if you see iron maiden in india, please let us know what you think of the show!
Hey Web surfers I got tHE edd fest tickets… God damn Its True, Its like i’ve been listenin to Maiden when i was age 8. .
IT was just brilliant. To see the guys perform live and chant along was beyond cool. I guess weall waited at least a decade to see Maiden live. I can say I was not dissapointed. Even though the stage was small and the sound system and acoustics werent great, Maiden blew us away with their energy and intensity!!
If you werent in Bangalore yesterday, you missed a defenitive moment in Indian history.
