Meanwhile, the bands Manager Rod Smallwood added: “50 years of Maiden and I have seen 46 of them!

"With well over 100 million albums sold and almost 2500 shows in 64 countries and counting, to countless millions of fans, we are all still loving every second and consider every tour a new challenge to bring something different and exciting to our fans. And for this very special one we’ re pulling out all the stops!
 
"We will cover classics and fan favourites from the first nine albums, from IRON MAIDEN to FEAR OF THE DARK, many of which we haven’t played in years and many we will likely never play again in the future.

"We have already been hard at work for months putting together an even more spectacular and elaborate new show which will bring the songs to life more than we have ever been able to do before.

"This is going to be a huge couple of years for IRON MAIDEN, and Eddie of course, and we are very excited about what we have up our sleeves for you fans throughout the whole of our 50th year.

"I promise you are all going to be very happy indeed!”

During their Glasgow show, the group will be joined by special guests The Raven Age.

 

Tickets for the event will go on sale from Friday, September 27, at 12pm.

Meanwhile, fans will be able to also grab tickets in the presale which starts from Wednesday, September 25, from 12pm.
