After their triumphant show in 2008, this will mark the second show of the British Metal legends at the Wacken:Open:Air. Their gig on Thursday, August 5th, 2010 will also be their only German show next year.

Comments Iron Maiden's Steve Harris: "We had a fantastic time playing at Wacken last year so when we decided to play a few festivals in Europe next Summer it seemed a great idea to return. What could be better in Germany than to play again to the 75,000 true Metalheads who go to Wacken!"

A groundbreaking Metal band like Iron Maiden on the biggest Metal festival in the world - that's match made in headbanging heaven. After the first time in 2008, even singer Bruce Dickinson said on his BBC radio show: "Wacken is enormous fun! It's just great, you wander around and see all the sideshows and bits and bobs and everything else. So it's just a fabulous weekend!"

Let's look forward to an impressive Iron Maiden show as part of the "Night To Remember" at the 21st edition of the Wacken:Open:Air, celebrating the band and their immortal set of classics old and new.
