IRON MAIDEN - "For The Plane-Spotters..."

IRON MAIDEN manager Rod Smallwood has issued the following brief update:

"No guarantees as we fly to our own schedule, but if you are in Australia and keep an eye on the skies around the following times you may see Ed Force One coming into your town for the show.

Melbourne - 7pm
Sydney - 1pm
Brisbane - noon

We won't be earlier but may be later if we can't get Nicko (McBrain - drums) out of bed!"
